Seaweed U

Seaweed is an eco-friendly superfood of the future. Multidisciplinary experience design artist Wenwen Fan has created an edible, sustainable alternative to current packaging choices using seaweed. These colourful seaweed wrappers titled ‘Seaweed U’, seeks to reframe the experience of using and eating seaweed. The project further makes a case for the shift in production of seaweed to help fight climate change as it is said that building seaweed farming on just 9% of the ocean bed could cut back on the world’s carbon emission entirely. This project aims to promote a convenient and fun seaweed diet solution as a way of food education in western societies.
