24 Sep 2019 --- MarinaTex, a bioplastic made from fish waste, is the UK national winner of the James Dyson Award and could provide an environmentally-friendly alternative to single-use plastics. The James Dyson Award is an international accolade that celebrates designers with innovative, problem-solving ideas. Designed by Lucy Hughes, a recent graduate of the University of Sussex, the biodegradable material is resource-light and requires little energy and temperatures under 100 degrees to be produced. The format of a translucent and flexible sheet material enables its use in a wide range of single-use packaging, including sandwich containers and tissue boxes.
