AGAR AGAR-BASED BIOPLASTIC, 2023
Bioplastic Wrap
This vegan alternative to plastic wrap is comprised primarily of agar agar, the vegan alternative to gelatin. This binding and thickening ingredient has the potential to overtake traditional plastic packaging as it successfully competes with the durability, texture, and flexibility of traditional plastic wraps. Even better, this bioplastic wrap can be cooked at home, decreasing reliance on external companies and purchasing for the every day individual.
Soaking the dried plastic in water creates a hardened bioplastic, revealing multimodal opportunities for use. The plastic can be melted back down and reformed when the user is finished, creating a fully closed-loop system.
