Textiles

Our OceanThix™ alginate can be used to make biodegradable, non-toxic materials, reducing water pollution and eliminating microplastics in textile printing and natural fibres.

Packaging and materials

Our algae-based products can be made into biodegradable packaging solutions and bio-based fibres to replace plastic.

Our products

We are creating sustainable and innovative bio-based products for diverse industries, while tackling the problem of ocean overgrowth, such as sargassum seaweed.

At the heart of our operations is a patented, state-of-the-art biorefining technology, which utilises brown algae as the raw material for valuable biochemicals, traditionally made from petrochemicals.
