Bill Gates Announces $1Bil Fund for New Technology Geared Toward Climate Change
The legendary tech billionaire do-gooder – along with several other CEOs – have created a groundbreaking new fund to help combat climate change.
This German college student has created a completely biodegradable packaging material made entirely out of seagrass, which simply washes up in heaps on the beach.
The seagrass is mixed with a binding substance contained inside the leaves before being pressed into a mold. The material is then baked until dry.
The design is the brainchild of Felix Pöttinger, a student at the Royal College of Art in London.
"It's a natural waste material, and past research showed that it is highly resistant against mold," Felix told Dezeen. "I'm only using the dead seagrass fibres that appear on the beaches of the Mediterranean coast, so there is no industrial harvesting process to harm the population of the seagrass or any living being."
