Citizen Science Protocol for the Implementation of zero-waste seaweed coatings for cosmetics
Abstract
Discover how innovative seaweed-based coatings are transforming the cosmetics industry by eliminating sin-gle use plastic bottles. Each dissolvable “cosmetic ball” replaces traditional packaging, offering a fully biodegradable, zero-waste alternative that reduces plastic at the source. This technology supports: Major plastic waste reduction - tackling over 100 billion single-use units produced globally each year.Sustainable habits - encouraging individuals, businesses, hospitality, and sports centres to switch to effortless, eco-friendly solutions.High-impact sectors - perfect for tourism, hotels, gyms, and high-traffic areas where waste is generated the most.Explore the future of sustainable cosmetics - plastic-free, zero-waste, and powered by nature.
