Summary
Researchers assessed the environmental impact and economic feasibility of producing calcium alginate bioplastics from Sargassum seaweed, presenting a novel approach that could address both plastic pollution and invasive seaweed problems in the Caribbean.
For much of the Caribbean, plastic pollution and the great Atlantic Sargassum belt has led to significant regional loss. To elevate these problematic areas, we present a novel calcium alginate bioplastic process from the lens of techno-economic and life cycle assessments.
