MarinaTex Ltd is a UK-based materials innovation company developing next-generation natural polymer alternatives to conventional single-use plastics. Founded in 2020, the company transforms low-value food waste streams, including seafood by-products, into high-performance, compostable materials.
MarinaTex’s core technologies target packaging applications, particularly coatings and flexible films that deliver strong barrier performance while remaining fully compatible with existing paper recycling systems. This enables the replacement of plastic laminates that currently contaminate recycling streams and hinder circularity.
By combining high material performance with designed end-of-life outcomes, MarinaTex supports the transition to circular packaging systems. Its solutions reduce reliance on fossil-based plastics, divert waste from landfill and incineration, and help businesses meet evolving regulatory and sustainability requirements.
