Lucy Hughes saw a problem most people ignored:
⚓ 20 million tons of fishing byproduct waste every year
🚛 1 truckload of plastic dumped into our oceans every minute
Her solution? MarinaTex, a biodegradable plastic made from fish skin and scales.
Why it matters:
🍀 Breaks down in 4–6 weeks (vs centuries for plastic)
⚡️ Produced with low energy + low resources
♻️ Solves 2 problems at once: waste + pollution
A regenerative business model at its best.
What waste stream do you think should be upcycled next?
