Green biorefining of sustainably sourced seaweed to benefit people and planet

OCEANIUM develops and makes seaweed-based products to benefit people health and planet health. OCEANIUM’s innovative and highly technical biorefinery process extracts maximum value from the seaweed producing in-demand, plant-based food and nutrition products and sustainable, innovative materials with excellent provenance.  Challenge: Increasing drought conditions, soil erosion and extreme weathers events expose millions to food and job insecurity. Oceanium’s business model establishes an environmentally sound supply chain and generates nutritious food and material products without cleared land, fresh water thus ensuring long term food security, and viable alternatives to plastics. Solution: We use green chemistry principles to develop a sustainable and scalable bio-refinery manufacturing process utilising the whole seaweed to produce products into large end-markets that compete at current price levels with land-based PLA in the case of packaging, and land-based plants for plant protein
