Company Description

We’re one of the few global companies researching and developing plant-based materials from the most common tropical brown seaweed, Sargassum, and the only one with an integrated mass collection network and cascading processing operation in key points of the biggest Sargassum bloom, the Atlantic Sargassum Belt. This means huge scale and impact: capable of supplying to a global economy hungry for raw materials that are carbon neutral, non-toxic, and marine biodegradable. The end result: stronger and low-carbon economies.
