Is Seaweed a New Hope for Sustainable Packaging?

In this episode, we speak with Neil Morris, founder of Kelpi, about how seaweed-based materials could help reshape the future of packaging — and what it really takes to move beyond fossil-based plastics. We discuss: Why seaweed is attracting attention as a renewable feedstock The challenge of scaling sustainable packaging solutions How brands are approaching next-generation materials The realities behind replacing conventional plastics Why infrastructure, economics, and regulation matter as much as innovation What makes this conversation especially interesting is that it moves beyond hype. Neil shares the practical realities of building a materials startup in one of the world’s most challenging industries — packaging. At Plastic Climate Future, we believe serious conversations about plastics, climate, circularity, and innovation need nuance, not slogans. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!
