More than 430 million tonnes of plastic produces more than 430 million tonnes, most of which passes into the landfill and oceans, which have a serious impact on marine life and ecosystems. Single-youse, especially in plastic packaging, difficult to recycled, plays an important role in pollution. To solve this problem, there have been various experiments and innovations in the packaging industry for many years, including a new selection of marine algae packaging.
A steady solution marine algae
The Marine algae has emerged as a permanent choice in the packaging industry. The particular thing is that there is no special effort, fertilizer or fresh water to increase it. Various companies use it to make packaging equipment. The packaging made of seaweed can not only be biodegradable, but also it can be eaten.
Packaging materials made of marine algae can decompose in a few weeks, which reduces its environmental effect compared to traditional plastic. Even in India, work on the packaging of Marine algae is underway. The country plays a major role in this industry, with India’s 7,500 km long beach and over 840 seaweed species.
ZeroSirkle’s contribution
An Indian company called ZeroSirkil is doing important in this direction. The company makes industrial packaging material by cutting algae from the sea. His packaging image is 100% natural and biodegradable, which provides a permanent option of plastic packaging.
20 crores of investment
Pune -based biotech company Zeroosirkal recently received Rs 20 crore in its seed funds round. The round includes environmental centralized investors such as Ronmeter Capital, 1 Group and True Styler. These funds help the company in its expansion.
Zero Circle founder and managing director Neha Jain said that her innovative packaging is challenging the problem of traditional plastic pollution. His company is trying to meet the growing demand for stable and clean solutions to the environment.
Plan in advance
Over the past four years, ZeroSirkle has patented its technology, which has focused on pollution -free packaging. The company aims to prepare a biodegradable material that does not leave the garbage behind it.
In the last one year, the company has commercially developed its first marine algae -based coating for food packaging. In addition, the company is receiving orders from the major packaging distributors and food brands.
By 2028, ZeroSirkel aims to increase its production capacity of its products and also aim to bring in marine algae in this process. By 2028, these products will help change 500 million items of the same utility plastic.
Tom Ford received several prestigious awards for microplastic packaging such as the Plastic Innovation Award and the United Nations Cleantech Days Global Award. He also won the India Government Initiative and India Plastic Challenge.
