Abstract

Plastic waste has been a problem since the 1970s, and we're here to help. We tried to reduce the plastic
waste by replacing one of the sources, which is a plastic cup, the plastic cup, has a lot of uses and, one of
them is that they can be used for storing most liquids and can be convenient for mass gathering or
gathering with family members, it can also reduce transmission of diseases that can cause an outbreak
of rhinovirus and many more, so we replace it with seaweed cup, the seaweed cup can be used as a
plastic cup but, seaweed cup is edible it can be eaten right after you use it and reduce the waste, it can
also use for fertilizer and fish food since seaweeds is full of minerals that can help marine, human life
and, plants, seaweed cup is easy to create because, seaweed production was about 1.5 million metric
tons and the ingredients are can be seen in local markets or even in sarisari store.

Future Development

For the future product, we're going to change water bottles, the ingredient was under development at
this point.
