The Ocean's Answer to Plastic Pollution.
We transform sustainably farmed seaweed into high-performance, 100% biodegradable packaging. No plastic. No waste. Just nature.
Tons of plastic enter oceans every year
Time for a plastic bag to decompose
Of all plastic is never recycled
Of our packaging is home-compostable
Packaging born
from the ocean.
JO C-WEED is a sustainable materials company headquartered in Houston, Texas with operations in Amman, Jordan — pioneering the commercial-scale production of seaweed-based packaging across the Middle East and North America.
Seaweed is nature's most efficient organism. It grows up to 30× faster than land-based plants, requires zero fresh water, zero land, and zero fertilizer — and our material inherits every one of those virtues.
As regulatory momentum toward sustainable packaging accelerates across Jordan and the broader MENA region, JO C-WEED is positioned to be the region's leading supplier of certified, proven alternatives to single-use plastic.
The Science of Seaweed
From ocean farm to finished packaging — four steps, zero compromise.
Regenerative Farming
Seaweed is cultivated in the ocean with zero fresh water, zero land, and zero fertilizer — growing up to 30× faster than land crops while restoring marine ecosystems.
Biopolymer Extraction
Natural polymers — carrageenan from red seaweed and alginate from brown seaweed — are extracted using a low-energy, chemical-free process.
Material Formulation
Proprietary blends are engineered to deliver the transparency, heat-sealability, and barrier properties that modern packaging demands.
Zero-Waste Manufacturing
Every scrap is cycled back into the production loop. The result: packaging that performs like plastic and returns to nature in weeks.
Plastic-free. Completely.
Every product is 100% biodegradable, home-compostable, marine-safe, and free of microplastics.
Flexible Films & Wraps
Crystal-clear, heat-sealable films for dry snacks, grains, and food wraps. High oxygen barrier, home-compostable.
Sachets & Single-Serve Pods
Biodegradable sachets for condiments, sauces, and single-serve applications — waterproof and shelf-stable.
Rigid Containers & Cups
Sturdy, compostable containers for takeaway food, fresh produce, and beverages.

Shopping & Carry Bags
Durable, reusable-grade bags for retail and grocery. Replaces conventional single-use plastic bags.
Edible & Dissolvable Films
Innovative films that dissolve in water or are safe to consume — ideal for single-serve portions.
Custom Packaging Solutions
Bespoke seaweed-based formats engineered for your specific product shape, barrier, and shelf-life requirements.
Beyond biodegradable.
Our goal is not merely “biodegradable” — it is regenerative. Every ton of seaweed packaging deployed prevents approximately 1.2 tons of plastic from entering the ecosystem.
Marine Safe
If it ends up in the ocean, it becomes food for marine life — not a threat to it.
Carbon Negative
Our seaweed farms absorb more CO₂ than the entire production process emits.
Community Impact
Cultivated with coastal communities, creating sustainable livelihoods for fishing towns.
No Microplastics
Zero synthetic polymers — ever. Our materials return to nature without leaving a trace.

Common Questions
Does the packaging smell like seaweed?
No. Our extraction process removes all odors and flavors, leaving a neutral material that won't affect your product's scent or taste.
How does it handle moisture?
Our films feature a high moisture barrier suitable for most dry and semi-dry goods. For liquid-heavy applications, our rigid container range is recommended.
Is it vegan and allergen-free?
Yes. All materials are 100% plant-based, free of common allergens, gluten-free, and suitable for vegan supply chains.
What certifications are available?
Our products are engineered to meet EN 13432 (industrial compostable), OK Home Compost, and food-contact safety standards. Specific certification documentation is available upon request.
