Product description

Loliware is redefining the future of sustainable materials with its groundbreaking SEA Technology®—a proprietary, seaweed-based resin designed to replace single-use plastics at scale. Derived from ocean-farmed seaweed, this regenerative material is 100% plastic-free, home-compostable, and designed to integrate seamlessly with existing plastic manufacturing infrastructure. By leveraging seaweed’s natural ability to sequester carbon, Loliware’s resin not only avoids pollution—it actively supports ocean health and biodiversity.

One of the first commercial applications of this next-generation material is the Blue Carbon Straw. Unlike traditional petroleum-based straws that persist in the environment and harm marine life, the Blue Carbon Straw safely biodegrades in about 50 days—without leaving behind microplastics or toxins. It's made from food-grade ingredients and is safe for both home and industrial composting.

Beyond just a product, the Blue Carbon Straw exemplifies Loliware’s broader mission: to accelerate the transition from plastic to seaweed-based materials that regenerate ecosystems. As more manufacturers adopt SEA Technology® across various applications, Loliware is scaling a climate-positive alternative that helps reduce plastic pollution, restore marine habitats, and drive progress toward global sustainability goals.
