Aber InvEnterPrize 2020 winners West Wales based company focusing on the development of sustainable, seaweed based bioplastics. info@plantsea.co.uk Millions of tonnes of plastic are manufactured each year. These materials are often petroleum based, responsible for large-scale environmental damage and greenhouse gas emissions. Many are un-recyclable and reach end of life after one use. Once discarded, this plastic sits for centuries in landfill or drifts through our oceans. At PlantSea Ltd, we aims to replace these environmentally damaging petroleum-based plastics with sustainable and biodegradable alternatives. Our project focuses on the development of sustainable and low carbon bioplastics, with the aim to be national pioneers in the development and production of sustainable and affordable seaweed derived plastic alternatives. We aim to support seaweed aquaculture in Wales and the UK with the potential to expand and establish our own seaweed aquaculture, enabling us to sustainably grow raw material while sequestering carbon.
