The earrings and bag made of Alganyl, the top interwoven with gelatin-based threadsg have one thing in common: they come from an organism that was once alive.

Alganyl is a material made of marine algae that behaves like vinyl, while fully degrading in soil in less than a month. Motivated by sustainability, we formulated Alganyl to be accessible and easy to replicate in a simple at-home setting.
