SearoLabs’ first consumer product, the SearoSoft earplug, is the world’s first seaweed-based single-use earplug. With an estimated 40 billion single-use earplugs discarded every year, SearoSoft presents a ground-breaking environmental alternative. Due to its water-based materials, the soft and mouldable earplug hydrates the ear canal as opposed to drying it out like plastic alternatives.

Made without harmful chemicals or microplastics, it is biodegradable in water and soil within 30 days. Seaweed is a regenerative crop needing no land, fresh water or fertiliser, from a secured, traceable supply.
