Sway
Supporting regenerative systems & a future free from plastic pollution with seaweed-based innovation
Sway combats environmental pollution and degradation by replacing single-use plastics with seaweed based packaging. Unlike other alternatives to plastic, Sway products are derived from regenerative crops, actively improve ecosystems, and don’t require industrial facilities to degrade. We’re working to solve the most critical challenges brands face when replacing traditional flexible plastics.
Sway is creating more than a sustainable material – we're supporting infrastructure for all life. Seaweed increases biodiversity, purifies air and water, and reduces carbon emissions. We are proposing a shift toward the development of a thriving seaweed agro-economy in the Americas.
To do this, we're bringing together experts in biology, material science, packaging, sustainability, design, policy and beyond to create practical solutions for climate change.
