has developed a way to turn algae, that green slimy goo that makes it unpleasant to swim in a lake, into eco-friendly foam for use in yoga mats, sandals, or luggage. The company ha canada stanley s developed a process where large algae blooms are collected using a specially-designed platform that floats along waste streams in the U.S. and other parts of the world. These particular streams are often overly-rich in nutrients, which causes algae to thrive and grow into large booms. Thats good for humans because algae is great at turning CO2 into oxygen, but not so great for fish鈥揵ecause those blooms block sunlight limiting their food supplies. Once harvested, the algae is drained and dried, turned into polymer-like pellets, and then mixed with other materials to create the Bloom foam. Depending on what its to be used for, the foam can be as much as 60 percent algae, which will reduce the demand for p stanley thermos etroleum-derived ingredients when Bloom starts production of its foam alternative next year.
