Technology is an innovative marine-derived natural material that replaces petroleum-based plastic materials.
Petrochemical plastics are widely used across industries due to their low cost, mass producibility, and excellent processability.
However, they do not decompose easily in nature, breaking down into microplastics that pollute soil, freshwater, and oceans — making them increasingly restricted in pursuit of a sustainable future.
In food packaging, plastics are primarily used as barrier layers that block oxygen and moisture to preserve food freshness. Yet, these plastic barriers can leach microplastics into food under certain conditions, leading to potential human absorption.
When applied to food packaging, Arame Materials’
Technology, based on biodegradable and natural ingredients, can not only address the issue of microplastic absorption in the human body but also reduce plastic use and promote the adoption of eco-friendly packaging.
