Chapter 01: Project Introduction
The Project Idea
The idea for this project emerged from increasing awareness of environmental issues caused
by traditional petroleum-based plastics. Studies have shown that over 300 million tons of
plastic are produced annually worldwide, with a large portion ending up in landfills or oceans.
Meanwhile, Spirulina platensis, a nutrient-rich microalga, has shown great potential for
bioplastic production. This idea developed through research indicating that spirulina-based
bioplastics are biodegradable and can reduce the carbon footprint. These bioplastics will serve
as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics, meeting the growing demand for sustainable
and environmentally friendly solutions.
We chose SARL Blue-Green Bioplastics as a name of our startup, our activity is registered in
the National Centre of Commerce CNC under the code 104203. This code attests its activity:
Manufacture of basic plastic materials and synthetic resins.
Our company is located in National School of Marine Science and Coastal Planning
(ENSSMAL) laboratories.
SARL Blue Green Bioplastics is a fledgling Algerian company that specializes in the
production and distribution of sustainable bioplastics derived from algae. Founded recently,
the startup's core mission is to develop eco-friendly packaging and material solutions that
address pressing environmental concerns. Leveraging advanced technologies, the company
designs innovative bioplastic formulations with superior technical properties, while ensuring
they are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Blue Green Bioplastics primarily targets
companies in Algeria's food packaging and medical sectors, offering them a much-needed
sustainable alternative to traditional plastics. Backed by its technical expertise, strong
commitment to sustainability, and strategic industry partnerships, the startup aims to establish
itself as a leading player in the country's burgeoning biomaterials market.
