MarinaTex

MarinaTex is a company that develops biodegradable materials as alternatives to single-use plastics. Founded by Lucy Hughes in 2019, the company uses fish waste and red algae to create a transparent, flexible bioplastic that decomposes within four to six weeks in home compostable environments. MarinaTex's material is designed for various applications, including packaging, and claims to be stronger than traditional LDPE plastic​.
