Abstract: Compostable seaweed-based thin films, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an exemplary seaweed-based thin film comprises a seaweed-based composition comprising agar, alginate, carrageenan, semi-refined seaweed, and/or unprocessed seaweed; an agent comprising glycerin, sorbitol, sodium lignosulphonate, potassium lignosulphonate, calcium lignosulphonate, ammonium lignosulphonate, lignosulphonate, citric acid, ascorbic acid, ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, polyglyceride fatty acid esters, guar gum, tributyl citrate, and/or propylene glycol; and water. The seaweed-based composition can comprise 50-90 wt % of the seaweed-based thin film, the agent can comprise no more than 40 wt % of the seaweed-based thin film, and the water can comprise 0.1-50 wt % of the seaweed-based thin film.

Abstract: Compostable seaweed-based compositions, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the seaweed-based composition comprises (i) a phycocolloid including agar, alginate, carrageenan, and/or unprocessed seaweed, (ii) a polymer comprising thermoplastic starch (TPS), polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), polyesteramide (PEA), polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), polybutylene succinate (PBS), and/or polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), and (iii) an additive, wherein the phycocolloid comprises no more than 90 wt % of the seaweed-based composition, the biopolymer comprises no more than 80 wt % of the seaweed-based composition, and the additive comprises no more than 50 wt % of the seaweed-based composition.
