Bioplastic from Mussel Shell & Seaweed
Transforming green mussel shell waste and Sargassum sp. into biodegradable bioplastics, empowering coastal communities in North Jakarta.
Why This Matters
Plastic pollution, mussel shell waste, and untapped seaweed potential. BIOSEACELL addresses all three at once.
Product Line
Each product is engineered with a specific degradation window matched precisely to its intended use.
Degrades: ~1 Day
A single use coffee stirrer made from mussel chitosan and seaweed alginate. Dissolves completely in a wet environment within 24 hours, leaving zero toxic residue.
~24 hours
Degrades: With the Season
A polybag that fully decomposes in soil. Contains seeds, CaCO₃ pH buffer from mussel shells, and algae nutrients. Plant the whole bag directly into the ground.
Seasonal
Degrades: 3–6 Months
A ready to plant pot with selected seeds, pre-adjusted pH and nutrients built in. One product: a pot and a garden combined.
3–6 MonthsHow It Works
Green mussel shells from North Jakarta coast & Sargassum sp. seaweed
Demineralization → Deproteinization → Deacetylation
Cleaning → Na₂CO₃ extraction → Centrifugation → Drying
Blend both solutions with plasticizer and ferulic acid
Pour into molds, dry, then cut to final product form

The Story Behind This Innovation
"For decades, the coast has only sold cheap raw products.
BIOSEACELL is here to change that, turning waste into high-value goods, and lifting fishing families from poverty into becoming bioplastic producers of the future."
