FlexSEA is a sustainable-packaging company aiming to replace traditional petroleum plastic film with an innovative natural material derived from seaweed.
Our transparent, resistant material is degradable in marine, soil and home-composting environments and is also edible.
We want to redefine the way people see plastic packaging. We want to innovate and change the way we see and use plastics. At FlexSea we believe the packaging of the future to be a packaging that is born in nature, serves its purpose, and returns to nature in a harmless way. A packaging that is built to exist, protect and preserve its contents only for the duration that these exist for. At FlexSea the future is now.
