Alga Life has developed an eco-friendly and biodegradable ink made from algae and natural ingredients. Today’s ink is made from soy bean or vegetable oil mixed with petroleum ingredients. The process of producing soy bean or vegetable oil is not convenient as it uses large amounts of resources, e.g. fuel, machines, or harmful fertilisers. That contributes to global warming. Overall, ink is much more expensive than car fuel.
