**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的挑战。 Algreen开发了第一种完全可生物降解的材料，从可持续海藻中生产时装行业中使用的可持续按钮和衣架，以及用于建筑的可持续粉丝板。塑料/聚酯是制造**按钮**的主要资源。 80％的按钮被乱扔垃圾并导致环境污染。**塑料衣架**是“时装业的塑料稻草”。据估计，全球服装衣架的总生产将排放650万吨CO2 \。**芯片板**总是包含石油衍生的胶粘剂，它们会发出挥发性有机化合物（VOC），大多数甲醛，这是“已知的人类癌”。
