Kelp / rapidly renewable
Kelp is a type of large brown seaweed and part of the algae family that grows in underwater forests along coastlines and plays a significant role in carbon sequestration. Kelp grows rapidly, up to half a meter per day, and its materials provide substitutes for carbon-intensive products from food and consumer goods to medical and industrial product applications.
World Resources Institute describes what kelp is and why it is of vital importance to people and the planet.
