Seaweed Based Bioplastic To End The Plastic Waste & Microplastic Crisis
Building Ephemeral Materials For A Healthier Planet.
The Problem:
Plastic.
Single-use plastics have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. From online shopping to buying groceries to eating at fast food or casual restaurants, much of what we buy comes in packaging or with utensils that will end up in a landfill. Most of those products are made of plastic which can take hundreds of years to decompose, if at all, causing significant harm to our planet.
The Solution:
Seaweed-Based Pellets, Films, and Foams as Replacements for Plastic.
Ephemrial provides sustainable solutions for companies who use plastic to make their products or packaging. Our goal: end the waste crisis by inspiring businesses to make better choices.
Our materials, made from seaweed, a renewable resource, are eco-friendly and biodegradable. We offer pellets for manufacturing, films for packaging, and foams for various applications, helping brands turn their innovative designs into products that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical, functional, and environmentally safe.
Biodegradability: A Step Beyond Compostability.
While many bioplastics tout compostability, most consumers lack access to compost facilities. Many products claiming biodegradability take over 100 years to decompose. Our material is designed to break down within 45-60 days under the right conditions, addressing the urgent need for genuinely biodegradable alternatives. By choosing our materials, companies can contribute to a sustainable future, ensuring their products disappear quickly and harmoniously with nature.
Our Commitment to Innovation and Community.
Ephemrial is proud to be an associate company at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology and a member of BioAlabama. Our dedication to innovative research and development is matched by our commitment to fostering a sustainable future, leveraging our cutting-edge biotechnology capabilities to create truly biodegradable materials that can revolutionize various industries and significantly reduce plastic waste.
