About Us

SeaNovel Bioplastic Ltd. extracts marine polymer to develop industrial-scale, biodegradable raw material. Their drop-in solution eliminates microplastics and infrastructure barriers, converting marine biomass into high-performance commercial value. SeaNovel converts macroalgae polysaccharides into high-performance resin pellets using a streamlined process powered by sunlight and seawater, with a Hot Melt material that enables a smooth transition with no major infrastructure changes or capital investment in industrial machinery.
The company targets two initial markets: fresh food packaging, where its resin extends product shelf life as a compostable alternative to plastic wraps, and single-use packaging, where its pellets provide a durable yet naturally biodegradable substitute for disposable plastics.
SeaNovel transforms ocean resources into sustainable material that returns safely from the sea and back to earth

Relevant Challenges

Product Design

The material is designed as a Drop-In pellets optimized for Hot-Melt technology. This allows plastic manufacturers to easily transition to sustainable production using their existing machinery without any infrastructure changes

Biodegradable Materials

The company develops a 100% plastic-free thermoplastic raw material from marine polymers. It leaves zero microplastic footprint and completely decomposes in backyard composting conditions, safely returning to nature

Biomaterials

The product is entirely bio-based, using Ulva algae (seaweed) as the primary resource. Through a unique process, the company extracts marine polysaccharides (Ulvan) and transforms them into high-performance commercial bioplastics

Low Carbon and Sustainable Blue Economy

The company drives a sustainable “Blue Economy” by turning renewable ocean resources into high-value commercial products. This model protects marine life by eliminating plastic pollution while supporting eco-friendly economic growth
