The present invention relates to the field of material and, in particular, provides a material comprising a mixture of brown algae, a cellulosic material and an adhesive; it also relates to the process for the elaboration thereof that comprises the main steps of mixing the brown algae, the cellulosic material and the adhesive, and drying the mixture of the brown algae, the cellulosic material and the adhesive.The material of the present invention, therefore, complies with the fact of being a material applicable to different needs, with adaptable characteristics as a function of the proportion of its prime materials and low-cost. Additionally, since it is possible to use initial materials of fast recovering, as in the case of cactus and algae, or recycling materials such as of paper, it is shaped as an ecologically friendly material.
