“We are a material provider; we know what we can do, and that we can’t do everything alone,” says Tsompanidis. “We want to find the companies that will take this treasure of the sea and move ahead with other applications.” PHEE-board can potentially be used as a green alternative to chemical-laden veneers in furnishings and interior design for homes, cars and yachts. Durable yet biodegradable seagrass also offers opportunities to replace single-use plastic items like cups and straws (Prince Charles would be pleased).  
Prices from €22 (gift box) to €195 (sunglasses).
