Imagine yourself launching a biobased plastic start-up company by starting the experiment from your own kitchen, isn’t it cool?
Jessica Farda is the co-founder of Noriware. Her fascination for algae-based materials was born when she went to Mexico for vacation and saw a lot of algae on the beach. Then, it develops into an idea to create an algae-based packaging material and made her learn about its potential as a sustainable and circular material resource. 

Without any scientific background in chemistry or polymers, she did her own research and performed experiments at home in her own kitchen. By accident, she discovered a process for making plastics. That’s when she decided to move out of the kitchen and start collaborating with the ETH in Zurich.
