Dezeen Sustainability award 2022 - Longlist
August 2022
SeaCo Designs has created a biopolymer using readily available and easily accessible materials.
The project addresses the issue of single-use plastics as one of the biggest climate change challenges
being faced today.
The result is a biomaterial created from fast-growing seaweed sustainably harvested from local
beaches during the plant's growth period, which can be produced within one week or harvesting and
composted after use with household waste.
The biomaterial can be easily dyed with homemade natural dyes, and is also capable of being
impregnated with photographic emulsion for darkroom exposure to produce a more sustainable black
and white photographic image.
The biomaterial has been used to produce compostable monoclonal antibody tests, in an attempt to
begin reducing the volume of single-use plastic build-up associated with medical appliances.
