We're elated to announce that Origin by Ocean, champions of algae-powered solutions, has entered into a product development partnership with Kiilto Oy, a family business rich in heritage and innovation spanning over a century. Together, we’re reimagining the future of bio-based, sustainable hygiene and cleaning products.
Kiilto, a thriving, family-owned entity, has long been a beacon in the chemical industry, creating impactful solutions across four vital business sectors: construction, industrial adhesives and fireproofing, professional hygiene, and consumer goods. Kiilto’s expansive product portfolio and uncompromising commitment to sustainability and innovation lay a formidable foundation for our collaboration.
This partnership represents a bold leap forward in our pursuit to revolutionise the use of algae, transforming this often-overlooked resource into bio-based raw materials for everyday products. Our shared vision is to address the problem of eutrophication in the Baltic Sea head-on, by developing innovative applications such as detergents and cosmetics, all powered by algae.
The partnership presents a unique opportunity for Kiilto, enabling them to double down on their ambition to be the environmental front-runner in their industry. "From a product development perspective, this kind of collaboration opening up completely new possibilities is really interesting and inspiring," said Oili Kallatsa, R&D and Innovation Director at Kiilto.
For Origin by Ocean, our collaboration with Kiilto marks a new direction, affirming the adaptability of our solutions to a range of applications including hygiene and cleaning products.
Both Origin by Ocean and Kiilto are steadfast in our dedication to innovation and environmental stewardship. Kiilto, with its rich history and commitment to sustainability, mirrors our ambitions to revolutionise industries by providing healthier and more ecological alternatives. We view this partnership as an exciting opportunity to make strides in our mission, melding the best of both companies for a greener tomorrow.
Stay tuned for more updates as we dive deep into this partnership, creating innovative, sustainable products that will reshape our relationship with the ocean and the wider world.
