Thanks for bringing up seaweed-based plastic, Marijke. It’s a great example of alternative materials that can reduce reliance on petrochemicals, though the industry’s move to suppress such innovations isn't a surprise. If this kind of material caught on, it could disrupt their grip on the market, and that's not something they’re keen on. Ultimately, though, we need more systemic changes—like stopping the production of harmful plastics altogether—not just swapping one for another that still allows corporate interests to profit.
