About SeeTang Collection Colecție de Produse din Biomateriale

Colecția SeeTang este un set de produse realizate dintr-un biomaterial pe bază de alge. Colecția include un preparat instant cu ambalaj comestibil și genți. Ambalajul interior al preparatului instant este gătit împreună cu mâncarea, deoarece biomaterialul se dizolvă în apă și poate fi consumat în siguranță. Ambalajul exterior poate fi reciclat sau compostat. Gențile sunt realizate din același material și sunt vopsite cu coloranți naturali precum șofran, coajă de ceapă, hibiscus și cafea. Colecția oferă o alternativă la pungile de plastic de unică folosință. Designul își propune să sensibilizeze publicul cu privire la conservarea mediului marin.

Production Technology: Focused on marine conservation the biomaterials are sourced from the sea to raise awareness about their importance to our climate and planet. Plastic pollution in the Fashion and Packaging industry influenced the project outcome. SeeTang bioplastic is made from algae and dyed with natural colours like avocado skin and stone, onion skin, hibiscus, coffee and saffron. The production of SeeTang is a zero-waste process.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge of this project was to accept the newly invented biomaterial with all its attributes, positive or negative. In the beginning, I tried moulding the material and shaping it, however, this is not possible due to its drying process characteristics. Furthermore, I had limited facilities to manufacture materials & products due to Covid-19 restrictions. All materials and products were produced in my kitchen.
Research: To fully understand my field of study, marine organisms, and plastic pollution, I achieved a Level 3 Diploma in Marine Biology. Additionally, I talked to different seaweed harvesters in the UK about their work and how it positively affects the health of marine life. Furthermore, I conducted a workshop with different designers to understand how far I could push the biomaterials. In total, I experimented with 36 different biomaterial solutions to finalise the best bioplastic for the outcome.
Inspiration: Raising awareness about marine conservation and the important role of microalgae and macroalgae for the health of our planet inspired SeeTang. Plastic pollution in the Fashion and Packaging industry influenced the project outcome.
SeeTang instant dish showcases a biodegradable alternative to plastic polluted food packaging.
SeeTang fashion collection offers a saffron-infused bioplastic alternative to single-use grocery bags.
Project Duration: The project started in Mai 2021 and finished in September 2021.
Operation Flow: SeeTang instant dish is cooked with all packaging included except for the outer packaging. The outer packaging is either recyclable or can be put in the compost where it will biodegrade.
The outcome is a zero-waste instant dish for a non-plastic alternative.

SeeTang fashion is durable and long-lasting while being biodegradable, sustainable, recyclable, vegan and edible.
