B’ZEOS develops novel, flexible, and home-compostable films based on seaweed extracts which can replace conventional and bio-based single-use plastic films in food-contact applications.
B’ZEOS’ solution will contribute to reduce the use of non- or hardly recyclable plastic materials for single-use food packaging, thus reducing CO2 emissions.
We are a team of 8 people with complementary backgrounds. One engineer in environment, two material scientists, one graphic designer, one supply chain analyst, one quality engineer advisor, one PR and marketing advisor and one CFO advisor.
Each of us are concerned by environmental issues and wanted to contribute to make a change.
We have joined this project because we are all fed up with:
- Contamination of world's drinking water with plastic fibres
- Seeing marine animals dying because of our plastic trash
- Increase of plastic packaging around fresh aliments
- Increase in plastic debris along the coast
- Both burning plastic and sending plastic to landfills
- Finding plastic while making with our kids sand castles
- Contamination with the chemicals in plastic. These chemicals are said to cause obesity, on-set puberty, and even cancer.
- Direct contamination of our kids by chewing various objects in plastic.
- Being exposed to plastic every single day and not having the chance to choose an alternative
We, at B’ZEOS and as consumers, believe in a sustainable alternative to current plastic and we have been working on the elaboration of a sustainable alternative without forcing the consumer to change dramatically his habits.
