OUR WHY

MAKE WAVES.
CUT CARBON.

As we transition to a fossil-free future, all petroleum-based chemicals and materials must be reimagined. Our already-strained agricultural system will need to feed the planet, not fuel biobased products. Kelp is the ultimate low-impact material to power this evolution—paving the wave to a low-carbon, bio-based tomorrow.
Seaweed is our net zero hero.
Unlike other crops, it doesn’t require fresh water, draws down carbon and is the perfect feedstock for a better world/ future.
