Reclaimed origins
Our vision is one where humanity has taken action to reclaim the oceans back from polluting agricultural and chemical industries, back from the algal blooms, back from lifelessness.

Planetary problems

The three main problems affecting our planet are all connected to the oceans and to each other.

01 Ocean Pollution
In addition to the mounting levels of oil-based plastic garbage in the oceans, marine life is suffocating from eutrophied dead zones from runaway invasive algae blooms. It thrives off of three things humans keep putting into the ocean: nitrogen, phosphorus and heat. Toxic chemicals destroy entire food chains of sea mammals, corals, and fish.

02 Loss of biodiversity
The loss of marine biodiversity is weakening the ocean ecosystem and its ability to withstand disturbances, to adapt to climate change and to play its role as a global ecological and climate regulator. The ocean is home to millions of species.

03 Climate change
The ocean and algae absorb a majority carbon dioxide from Earth’s atmosphere. The rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is driving up ocean surface temperatures and causing ocean acidification.

Eutrophication, chemicals and plastic debris have turned the origin of life into humanity’s sewer and junk yard. The lives and livelihoods of people suffer with the oceans.

Our mission is to make the chemical industry run on algae.
Reclaiming the oceans requires reclaiming the origin of the chemical products in our everyday consumer products too. Instead of oil, their origins will be algae-based: ecological, decomposable, and renewable.
