„An ocean full of opportunities“ is a research project about the usage of different types of algae and algae based products to create sustainable sequins. The complete biodegradable biopolymer is mainly made from Agar Agar, an algae based gelatine substitute. It can be produced in a variety of shades, structures and looks.

The seemingly useless food wastes will reborn with a second life. Banana and orange peel or soy-milk are combined with a natural binding agent as the substrate. The resulting composite…

Designers should stop using recycled plastic and instead use bioplastics made from raw materials such as algae if they want to reduce pollution, according to Istanbul Design Biennial curator Jan Boelen.
