MarinaTex Ltd
- MarinaTex Ltd is a micro SME developing a new material made from seafood waste and red algae, designed as a planet conscious alternative to single-use plastic film for the packaging industry.
- The material is a translucent, flexible film material that can biodegrade in a home-compostable environment in 4-6 weeks.
- One of the main product focus areas is poly bags for the fashion industry as they need to protect the garment, whilst remaining transparent for the warehouse, but they do not need to be plastic.
- The company’s mission is to develop circular solutions to linear problems by redesigning materials for packaging.
