26 Oct 2022 --- Flinders University materials researchers in Australia and One-Five, a German biomaterials developer, are using seaweed extracts to develop biopolymer coating materials to replace current foodservice packaging. The non-pollutive biomaterials are designed to replace conventional fossil-based plastic coatings used in grease-resistant quick service restaurant (QRS) packaging. The researchers state their discoveries could solve packaging waste dilemmas for the fast-food industry.
