Technology – Searo Labs

Empower Change

Embrace our tech for a plastic-free world

Our ground‑breaking natural materials begin in our labs, with our expert teams and their unique knowledge of what we call Plastic-free Chemistry™. By combining natural polymer science with scalable manufacturing processes and visionary product design, we pioneer sustainable plastic replacements for multiple global industries.

Searo® Technology is designed to enable businesses to transition away from plastic and bioplastic without disrupting business as usual. We understand the challenge of delivering sustainability at scale and work closely with industry to provide solutions that set new standards, deliver solutions and lead change.

01 NATURE'S POLYMERS™
02 FOOD SECURITY
03 SMART MATERIALS

We have developed proprietary formulations and process that enable natural seaweed polymers to be converted into materials that look and feel like plastic without the need for harmful chemical... modification. This means that Searo® Materials are compatible with nature and cause no harm wherever they end up. We design materials that disintegrate, dissolve and can even be digested. Our goal is to make technology that accords with nature’s principles and supports life.

We believe that smart materials are the answer. In an evolving world, where humanity plays an ever-increasing role, we are convinced that the materials we make can no longer be inert and indifferent... to their environment (like plastic), but must instead be adaptive, responsive and agile. Searo® Materials are therefore smart: they can be engineered for diverse applications to respond to the environmental challenges we face, as well as the needs of consumers and industry.

Food waste is a problem we are set on solving with material technology. By utilising the unique properties of our film, we can package fresh produce to achieve extensions in shelf-life. Searo® Materials are inherently... breathable, and this allows them to act as a natural, permeable barrier which expels excess moisture from food and can prevent mould growth and spoilage. Safeguarding the future of global supply chains is one of our biggest priorities, and by advancing the functional capabilities of packaging materials, we are leading the way.
