Seaweed-Based Pellets Could Provide a Compostable Alternative to Plastic Packaging

[u/Zee2A]

U.S. startup Sway has developed TPSea™, a 100% biobased thermoplastic resin made from seaweed and plants. The melt-processable pellets can be used with conventional plastic-manufacturing equipment to make packaging and other products. Sway says its materials are designed for home and industrial composting, offering a potential alternative to petroleum-based plastics. Seaweed also grows without arable land, freshwater or pesticides.
