**Cleaning brand** [**Homethings**](https://gethomethings.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) **has revealed it is utilizing** [**Kelpi**](https://www.kelpi.net/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io)**’s seaweed-based coatings for the next generation of its refill sachets.**

The two companies, both certified B Corps, hope the initiative will help to ‘accelerate positive environmental change’. Homethings offers refill sachets for its washing up liquid and cleaning spray products.

Kelpi [states](https://www.kelpi.net/manifesto?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) that its bioplastic packaging is biodegradable and marine-safe, decomposing in less than a year after use without leaving toxins behind.

Matthew Aubrey, founder of Homethings, says: “We’ve been really impressed with the performance of the Kelpi material, and we love the story behind Kelpi’s mission and products. With Kelpi we’re able to use a material with better sustainability that also creates a better product for our customers.”

In related news, Australian startup [Uluu](https://www.uluu.com.au/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) secured over €7 million in Series A funding last year to build a [demonstration plant](https://packagingeurope.com/news/biotech-startup-uluu-raises-7m-to-scale-seaweed-plastic-alternative/13566.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) for the industrial production of its materials, a home compostable seaweed alternative to plastic. The material is said to be lightweight, waterproof and non-toxic while being climate positive at scale.

More recently, fast food chain [Kwalitaria](https://www.kwalitaria.nl/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) announced it would be serving fries and snacks on [Notpla](https://www.notpla.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io)’s cardboard trays with a [seaweed-based coating](https://packagingeurope.com/news/kwalitaria-sells-fries-and-snacks-on-notplas-seaweed-coated-cardboard-trays/13915.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io). Estimated to eliminate 6.9 tonnes of plastic waste and 102.5 tonnes of CO2 annually, Notpla’s solution is said to be home-compostable and avoid the generation of microplastics.
