METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF AN ALGAE-BASED CONTAINER

This document discloses an ecofriendly method for making biodegradable containers from algae. The method can be broken down to two main stages. The former consists of processing the algae in order to separate its solid content (filter cake) from its liquid content (agar-rich filtrate). Meanwhile, th...

Zusammenfassung:	This document discloses an ecofriendly method for making biodegradable containers from algae. The method can be broken down to two main stages. The former consists of processing the algae in order to separate its solid content (filter cake) from its liquid content (agar-rich filtrate). Meanwhile, the later and subsequent stage consists of molding the cake into a container and applying to it the agar-rich filtrate as a coating and adhesive agent. This process can be utilized to design containers of various shapes depending on the mold apparatus used. Based on their shapes, such containers can then be used to fulfill the purpose of any regular containers. That includes but is not limited to packaging, food/liquid storage and transportation.
