What is this innovation about?

Strandmanufaktur GmbH specializes in crafting eco-friendly pillows filled with locally harvested seaweed. By utilizing seaweed, a natural and renewable resource, they offer sustainable alternatives to conventional bedding materials. Their process involves hand-collecting seaweed from the Baltic Sea shores, washing it with potable water, and sun-drying it, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

What’s in it for a tourism SME?

Tourism SMEs can use seaweed pillows in their accommodations, thereby enhancing the sustainability of their offering. Pillows and cushions made from this natural, hypoallergenic material can improve comfort and appeal to environmentally conscious travellers. In addition, seagrass cannot become mouldy, so it remains comfortable even in a damp environment.

Consider that:

Availability of seaweed varies throughout the year and Strandmanufaktur’s pillows are usually in high demand, which means they might not always be available. However, interested parties can contact them to inquire about future availability. In addition, seaweed cannot become mouldy, so it remains comfortable even in a damp environment.
