This new packaging prototype looks like conventional plastic, but it’s actually made from fish waste and algae—and unlike plastic, if it escapes into the ocean, a fish could likely eat it safely. The material, called MarinaTex, is the winner of this year’s James Dyson Award.

这种新式包装的样品看起来就像普通的塑料，但它实际上是用鱼的废料和藻类制成的，而且它不像塑料，如果它流入大海，鱼儿吃掉它完全没问题。这种名为MarinaTex的材料赢得了本年度詹姆斯·戴森设计大奖。

“It began with my desire to work with waste,” says Lucy Hughes, a recent graduate from the U.K.’s University of Sussex, who began developing the material as a student.

刚从英国苏塞克斯大学毕业的露西·休斯表示：“我想处理废料，于是开始了这项研究。”她从学生时代就开始开发这种材料。

Through a contact at the university, Hughes visited a fish processing plant to see the massive quantity of waste generated by the industry and find new ways to use it.

通过大学的接洽，休斯参观了一家水产加工厂，她了解到该行业产生了大量废料，她想找出利用这些废料的新方法。

She focused on fish skins and scales. “When I had it in my hands, I realized this has got potential,” she says. “It’s super strong and flexible and pliable.”

她把注意力放在了鱼皮和鱼鳞上。“当我拿着它的时候，我意识到它很有潜力，”她说。“它非常结实而且很柔韧。”
