Seaweed aquaculture is so effective in reducing CO2 emissions, it outperforms trees, and its farming requires no land, freshwater or fertiliser. Being both sustainably and ethically produced, our natural seaweed ingredients create a harmonious relationship between local communities and global ecosystems. By growing seaweed, we can reoxygenate and deacidify the ocean, reversing effects of climate change and restoring nature’s balance.

Rich in micro and macronutrients, seaweed is the perfect ingredient to make biodegradable materials that improve soil health. Seaweed is a natural fertiliser, and by transforming it into packaging or single-use products before it is composed, we both fuel the transition away from plastics and support agriculture.

By harnessing the power of our hero ingredient – seaweed – our materials drive carbon capture and enrich soil when composted. Searo® packaging material can be easily composted at home, in food waste bins. Our products biodegrade quickly and naturally, causing no harm to animals or ecosystems. Carbon sequestered by seaweed and locked in our material is released back into the earth as biomass, along with other nutrients. By fertilising the soil, our packaging supports the growth of more food, and the circle is complete.

The hazardous effects of microplastics and ‘forever chemicals’ (PFAS) from plastic on human health are profound and multifaceted. From production to disposal, plastics release toxic substances that pose significant health risks, including 
cancer, reproductive and developmental toxicity, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic disorders. Plastic pollutes every aspect of our environment, including our bodies, threatening the future of humankind and even the nature of life on earth.

Natural materials are urgently needed to help heal the world. Searo® Materials are designed to support life regenerate ecosystems. By utilising approved food-grade ingredients within our 100% plastic-free formulations, we are leading the way to a happier, healthier future.

Searo® packaging materials utilise the properties of natural polymers to extend shelf-life. The ability of our materials to breath, allows fresh produce to stay fresher for longer, inhibiting condensation and mould growth. Tomatoes last longer packed in Searo material, and peas remain frost-free!

Our unique understanding of natural materials has equipped us with a deep understanding of how to protect natural products and extend shelf-life.

40% of the food produced is never eaten, 1/3 of global food production wasted. Plastic packaging is part of the problem, food-waste a symptom. By creating entirely plastic-free materials from food-grade ingredients, our packaging fosters food security by extending shelf-life and capturing food waste residue when composted.
