Our vision

The origin of the only life we know in the universe started in the ocean. Life still depends on it.

Reclaimed
origins

Our vision is one where humanity has taken action to reclaim the oceans back from polluting agricultural and chemical industries, back from the algal blooms, back from lifelessness.

There’s a plague
in every ocean
on the planet
affecting every
continent.

Systematic
problems


The three systematic challenges affecting our planet are connected to the oceans and to each other.

ObO_Ocean_pollution

01 Loss of biodiversity

Our oceans are losing biodiversity due to eutrophication caused by human actions on land. Excess nutrients in oceans creates harmful algae blooms.

02 Dependency
on oil

There is an urgent need to decouple our society's dependency on oil.

03 Unsustainable value chains

Companies in manufacturing industries must adjust their operations to align with planetary boundaries by adopting high-functionality bio-based chemicals and replacing unsustainable value chains.

THE PROBLEM

Oil-based chemicals, and their supply and value chains are unsustainable. 

The UN
Agenda
2030 is at
the heart of
why we exist

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) guide our short- and long-term planning and operations. We want our people to know they are working toward real global goals, so the SDGs are the foundation of our hiring process too.

SDG 3
Good health
& well-being

With bio-based chemicals we can eradicate hazardous chemicals and create a ‘new industrial standard’ for pollution and waste releases as well as health and safety in the chemical industry.

SDG 8
Decent work
& economic
growth

We create opportunities for income generation more economic and social independency in communities along the coasts of oceans and seas.

SDG 12
Responsible
consumption
& production

We remove invasive algae and nutrients from the oceans and reduce non-biodegradable waste. Our manufacturing is based on a circular model.

 

SDG 13
Climate action

We increase possibilities and opportunities for local communities to plan, act and manage climate change related issues through education and raised awareness.

SDG 14
Life below
water

We prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, from agriculture, marine plastic debris and nutrient pollution. We also improve the health of marine ecosystems by growing biodiverse seaweed forests.

SDG 17
Partnerships
for the goals

We create opportunities for income generation more economic and social independency in communities along the coasts of oceans and seas.

Our mission
is to make
the chemical
industry
run on algae.

Reclaiming the oceans requires reclaiming the origin of the chemical products in our everyday consumer products too. Instead of oil, their origins will be algae-based: ecological, decomposable, and renewable.

Our plan for the
next decade

ObO-anim-logo-blue

We believe that in order for things to happen at a massive scale, it has to be turned into an industry. One with a reimagined value chain.

Explore our plan

The current round of financing is being used to build the commercialisation and production capabilities of the company. Recruitment of technical sales, engineering, product and process quality control team members is underway.

Scaling up and industrialising our process will allow us to increase production outputs. We will therefore be able to accelerate customer and consumer product application work too.
