Development of a Seaweed Pellet for Use in the Production of Biodegradable Lab Supplies
EF 2023-24 · 2023-10-01
Résumé
Plastic waste originating from research labs and medical facilities within the province has been overlooked and unaddressed. BioLabMate has taken an innovative approach toward developing a biodegradable bioplastics solution by harnessing bio-based polymers, such as seaweed pellets. In response to the environmental challenges posed by conventional plastics used in the research lab that require immediate attention. This project have two key objectives: Developing a seaweed-based pellet to produce a lab-scale product for rigorous testing. The investigation of feasibility for the commercial fabrication of these pellets. The final goal is to utilize these pellets in manufacturing biodegradable, bioplastic laboratory supplies.

Description (French)
Les déchets plastiques provenant des laboratoires de recherche et des établissements médicaux de la province ont été négligés et n’ont pas été traités. BioLabMate a adopté une approche innovante pour développer une solution de bioplastique biodégradable en exploitant des polymères d’origine biologique, tels que les granulés d’algues. En réponse aux défis environnementaux posés par les plastiques conventionnels utilisés dans les laboratoires de recherche et qui nécessitent une attention immédiate. Ce projet a deux objectifs principaux : Développer un granulé à base d’algues afin de produire un produit à l’échelle du laboratoire pour des tests rigoureux. L’étude de la faisabilité de la fabrication commerciale de ces granulés. L’objectif final est d’utiliser ces granulés pour fabriquer des fournitures de laboratoire biodégradables et bioplastiques.
