Sustainable furniture keeping chemicals out of landfills

A lot of the furniture around our homes and offices is made from plastics such as polyurethane and polyester. Even some wood furniture is really wood veneer slapped over plastic. These plastics can take hundreds of years to break down. But the push for sustainability has reached the furniture industry too.


Agroprene's foam is made from seaweed and plant-based biopolymers. The company turns seaweed into powder that is then baked and molded into its unique properties, including buoyancy, insulation, and sound absorption, making it ideal for applications in packaging, construction, and marine industries. "The foam is 100% biodegradable. You can simply leave it in the soil, and it will naturally degrade over eight months - faster if you cut it into smaller pieces," founder Celine Sandberg told the BBC. "We tried a bunch of different materials, but most of them turned out as rigid foam, not flexible."
