Science Actually is a podcast by Imperial College London students and staff. Are you keen to find out more about current and future research, and to discover how not every question will have one answer? In each episode a member of our podcast team interviews an Imperial expert to see if they have the answers to our burning questions. In the first series, we dive into myths surrounding different aspects of student life: memory, food, sleep and partying. The second series revolves around the science that is shaping our future. Intro by Clara Tillous Oliva, jingle by Hendrik Vogt, artwork by Ali Al-Sikab.

Sustainable Packaging: How FlexSea is revolutionising the field of algae-based plastics
In this episode, Eva Bremnes interviews Carlo Fedeli, the co-founder of FlexSea. Both he and his co-founder, Thibaut Monfort, hold master’s degrees from Imperial, and together they founded a startup with the aim to redefine flexible plastic packaging. To change our relationship with plastic, they have developed a biodegradable, compostable packaging made from seaweed. Carlo explores with us the origins of FlexSea, how they have gone from an idea to a physical prototype, and what they are aiming to achieve in the future. Carlo being the business man and Thibaut the scientist, together they bring a rounded approach to a critical problem in the present, with the target of having an impact in the future.
