We specialize in the development and production of innovative materials by combining cutting-edge technological innovation and environmental awareness to transform sustainably sourced, renewable resources into high-quality, value-added products.
By leveraging our innovative research, as well as our comprehensive team of experts, we are looking to solidify our long-term competitive advantage in this newly emerging industry and scale the development of next-generation, carbon-free technology to produce a line of new, high-quality seaweed-based products for a wide array of commercial industries.
To transform sustainably sourced seaweed into high-quality, innovative products while sequestering greenhouse gases, helping restore and support local marine habitats, and growing the marine aquaculture industry here in Canada by creating reliable and long-lasting career opportunities for communities all across the country.
All of the world’s farmed seaweed production is still completely dominated by Asia, where expensiveshipping costs as well as labour-intensive, inefficiently designed farms result in excessively high prices for commercial seaweed.
As a result, commercial production of any downstream product is still incredibly limited, and impossible to do in many areas around the world.
All commercially available seaweed extracts that are on the market today are manufactured using significant amounts of chemical solvents.
The use of these chemicals is extremely harmful to the environment and makes the production of these materials extremely costly and inefficient.
We’re developing breakthrough technologies to cultivateseaweed at scale more cheaply and more efficientlythan anyone else in the industry.
By automating much of the cultivation process as wellas developing an entirely new, more optimized farmsystem, we are pioneering the shift from expensiveartisanal seaweed cultivation to scalable, commercialscale production.
We’re developing a new and innovative way to producea wide variety of seaweed extracts in one streamlinedprocess that does not require the use of anyenvironmentally harmful chemical solvents and isentirely carbon-free.
By leveraging Canada’s abundance of naturalrenewable resources, we can perform this operationmore cheaply and more efficiently than anyone else inthe industry.
To make this province — and all of — the epicentre of new technological solutions that we can use to develop the supply chains necessary for the viable production of seaweed-based products, leveraging our geographical advantages to solidify our position as leaders in a rapidly expanding global industry.
We want to help build a strong and reliable circular economy by turning renewable resources like seaweed into sustainable, bio-based materials that can be used in a wide range of commercial industries.
Our end goal is for these materials to be composted and upcycled into new products, forming a closed-loop system that can minimize waste, conserve valuable resources, and help generate new downstream value-added products that will ultimately contribute to building a more sustainable and resilient economy for all.
The science and innovation we’re dedicated to working on not only has the potential to create significant economic benefits, it can also be used to strengthen and preserve the natural resources native to the regions in which we operate.
Seaweed is one of our best natural tools in the fight against climate change, and it can also be leveraged to create new and reliable opportunities for coastal areas across the country, particularly rural regions in northern Canada where consistent, high-paying jobs could greatly benefit Indigenous communities that only have access to a limited number of commercial industries.
By leveraging the advantageous geography of Quebec, as well as the rest of Northern Canada, we can solidify our position as giants in the large-scale, sustainable cultivation of seaweed and maximize the value of our country’s natural resources to pioneer new industries and spearhead the development of much-needed innovative solutions.
We can not only reduce our dependence on foreign markets and international supply chains, but also enable the creation of high-quality products for people and businesses across North America.
By using Quebec as a stepping stone to the vast resources that Canada has to offer, and by continuing to find newand innovative ways to exploit the benefits of seaweed, our goal is to radically disrupt the status-quo in the material science industry and create high-quality products that drive positive change in the world around us — right when it’s needed most.
