**PROBLEM**The fashion and architecture industries are facing sustainable challenges. Algreen develops the first fully biodegradable material from sustainable seaweed for producing sustainable buttons and hangers used in the fashion industry and sustainable chipboard used for architecture.Plastic/polyester is the major resource for making **buttons**. 80% of buttons are littered and resulted in environmental pollution.**Plastic Hangers** are the 'fashion industry's plastic straw'. The total production of clothes hangers worldwide is estimated to emit 6.5 million tons of CO2\.**Chipboard** always contains petroleum-derived adhesives, which emit volatile organic compounds (VOC), most of the formaldehyde, which is a "known human carcinogen".

** 问题 ** 时尚和建筑行业正面临可持续发展的挑战。Algreen从可持续海藻中开发出第一种完全可生物降解的材料，用于生产时尚行业使用的可持续纽扣和衣架以及建筑用可持续刨花板。塑料/聚酯是制造 ** 纽扣 ** 的主要资源。80%的纽扣被丢弃，造成环境污染。**塑料衣架 ** 是“时尚行业的塑料吸管”。据估计，全世界衣架的总生产量将排放650万吨二氧化碳。刨花板 ** 总是含有石油衍生的粘合剂，释放挥发性有机化合物（VOC），其中大部分是甲醛，这是一种“已知的人类致癌物质”。
