The Plastic Soda Bottle Gets An Algae-Based Redesign

A designer and engineer have teamed up to create a new eco-friendly plastic made from algae.
One hundred years after the introduction of Bakelite, plastic has become a ubiquitous material in every sector of our lives. Catastrophes like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch force us to acknowledge the detrimental affects of plastic, so designers and engineers across the globe are researching and developing alternative materials to plastic for a variety of applications.

Home-grown manufacturing is allowing innovators like designer Francois Azambourg and Harvard professor of bioengineering Donald Ingber to create unique solutions to the problem of plastic.
