Serving as an alternative to wood-based paper and card, the material can be used to make stationery, boxes and bags and is available in a range of weights. It was tested under the CEPI v2 protocol and found to be suitable for recycling through a standard paper mill. The seaweed used in the packaging is a by-product sourced from UK aquaculture facilities.<\/p>\n<p>PlantSea has also developed other seaweed-based products, including a water-soluble film, a rigid material suitable for products like food trays, and agricultural mulch. The company was set up by three PhD student friends who developed their original seaweed product for a competition.<\/p>\n<p>They won and decided to turn their winning idea into a business. PlantSea is not the first company to trial packaging made from alternative fibres &#8211; DS Smith has explored using seaweed, cocoa shells and daisies to replace plastic. Last year saw the launch of Papercycle, a first-of-its-kind recyclability assessment and certification service for fibre-based packaging products and materials for the UK and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/recyclinginternational.com\/commodities\/ferrous-metal-recycling\/mercedes-benz-and-nucor-in-green-steel-tie-up\/56715\/\">Recycling International<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-499\/\">First seaweed-based packaging approved as \u2018recyclable\u2019 by oprl<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,829,3239],"class_list":["post-129295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-packaging","tag-seaweed"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129295\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
