Spirulina–poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)–glycerol (SPG) films with improved mechanical performance, especially tensile strength (TS) and the elongation at break (EAB), are fabricated by a casting method. The integrity, color, solubility, microstructure, thermal properties, tensile strength, and compatibility of the SPG films are assessed. SPG films became smooth, homogeneous, and flexible after plasticizing with glycerol. The presence of PVA and hydrogen bonding of PVA with glycerol and spirulina protein improves the water resistance of SPG films by decreasing water absorption of spirulina protein and decreasing water diffusion through the films. The amount of carbonaceous residues decreases from 31% to 14% because of the co‐pyrolysis of spirulina, PVA, and glycerol. TS increases from 2.5 to 26 Mpa and modulus from 53 to 610 Mpa with increasing PVA content. Glycerol enhances film flexibility and EAB up to 50%. Spirulina can be composited with hydrophilic polymers to fabricate compatible, processable and thermally recyclable films with desirable mechanical performance. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.
