This requires the design of new products or the redesign of existing ones, both in the choice of raw materials and in the design of the manufacturing process, including distribution, use, recovery or final disposal. The aim of the present study is to investigate the behaviour of the algae-based beta-material created by the thermoforming process, as well as to design the selected packaging for this study. The results provide important and relevant information for the design and development of sustainable packaging with the material still under development.
