At Wavenoon, we harness the power of seaweed to create a more sustainable world. We create 100% biodegradable bags.
Our 100% biodegradable polybags go straight into organic waste, leaving no microplastics or harmful residues—just a bag that disappears naturally.
We focus on conscious shoppers, not outdated corporations. Our bags are available in small and medium-sized retail stores, in a convenient, stylish dispenser box. Practical and better for the planet.
The choice is yours.

Unlike land-based crops, seaweed grows in the ocean, requiring no farmland, freshwater, or fertilizers. It doesn’t compete for agricultural land or food resources, making it one of the most sustainable natural materials available.
Plastic remains dominant because politics move slowly, and major manufacturers continue producing cheap plastic. High costs, few incentives, and the influence of the plastic industry hinder the transition. But that doesn’t mean we have to wait—every choice we make shapes the future of packaging.

The initial tests are promising, and we will start production in the near future. We are currently working on the latest research developments around our bioplastic. As a start-up, we collaborate with some research departments.
We are not only developing sustainable polybags but also home-compostable and 100% biodegradable bags. These bags provide an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic packaging and contribute to a circular economy.
We source our seaweed from a global network of certified ocean farms and processors dedicated to the responsible cultivation of seaweed.
We use cultivated ocean algae. In line with our sustainability goals, we collaborate with various types of seaweed from different parts of the world, always opting for responsible farming methods in ocean farms. This approach ensures that we are not dependent on a single region or species, while also contributing to enhancing the positive impacts of global seaweed cultivation.
Absolutely! The seaweed industry is growing rapidly. Worldwide, the annual cultivation of seaweed now exceeds 42 million tonnes, representing more than a doubling over the past ten years. This impressive growth not only illustrates the rising demand but also highlights the enormous potential and sustainability opportunities of seaweed cultivation on a global scale.
Seaweed is harvested using sustainable methods that ensure minimal disruption to marine ecosystems. Depending on the species and location, it can be hand-harvested by divers, mechanically collected, or farmed on suspended ropes in the open ocean. These methods allow for continuous regrowth and help maintain biodiversity in surrounding waters.
Seaweed farming is one of the most sustainable forms of aquaculture. It requires no freshwater, fertilizers, or pesticides and actively absorbs CO₂, helping to combat climate change. Additionally, seaweed cultivation can improve water quality by removing excess nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, from the ocean.
Seaweed-based bioplastics are designed to be compostable and break down naturally in organic waste streams, unlike traditional plastics that persist in the environment for hundreds of years. They offer a renewable alternative to petroleum-based plastics while maintaining similar functionality, making them a more sustainable choice for packaging and single-use applications.
While seaweed-based bioplastics offer a promising alternative, they are not a one-size-fits-all solution. They are best suited for applications like packaging, food containers, and disposable items where biodegradability is essential. However, for highly durable or technical applications, alternative sustainable materials may be required. The key is to integrate bioplastics where they provide the most environmental benefit.
