WHY WE EXIST
Better products start with better choices.
Ingredients connect the products we use with the resources we depend on. Changing those ingredients is a practical place to begin changing industry.
ON THE COAST
Too much Sargassum.
Too little lasting value.
Excessive Sargassum accumulations put pressure on coastlines, communities and local economies. Collection addresses an immediate problem. Creating demand for the biomass can connect that work with a longer-term economic opportunity.
IN THE INDUSTRY
A new origin has to
earn its place.
Manufacturers need ingredients that work. Renewable raw materials must deliver the functionality, quality and consistency that real products require. Environmental ambition needs that commercial foundation.
OUR VISION
Make algae a mainstream industrial feedstock.
We want algae-based chemistry to become an everyday choice for industry. Our ambition is to build a commercially viable model that creates value for customers and coastal communities while helping address the impacts of invasive Sargassum.
OUR MISSION
Transform invasive algae into high-performance ingredients for better products and more responsible value chains.
PEERFORMANCE MAKES ADOPTION POSSIBLE
Impact requires industry.
A different feedstock becomes meaningful when it works in products people use. That is why ingredient performance, application development and customer collaboration are central to our purpose.
OCEANBOOST™ fucoidan bioactives and OCEANTHIX™ alginate put this thinking into practice. They connect the potential of Sargassum with the needs of formulators and manufacturers.
OUT LONG-TERM AMBITION
Built in Finland.
Designed to go further.
Our ambition extends beyond a single facility. We aim to develop a biorefining model that can be replicated in regions affected by invasive Sargassum, like the Caribbean.
THE FOUNDATION
Science with an application.
Connect marine chemistry, process development and formulation expertise to create ingredients customers can use.
THE NEXT SCALE
Industrial production in Finland.
Develop our first industrial biorefinery in Kokkola with engineering and operating partners.
THE INFINITY GAME
More value closer to the source.
Build towards regional biorefining and greater local participation in the value chain. Future facilities remain a long-term ambition.
