Our Story
My co-founder and I have worked on this transformative idea for the last two years. We are both researchers and worked in the research lab for a long time. Our journey began when we noticed the amount of plastic waste generated by research labs.
​
We started looking for alternative or biomaterial-based lab plastic products, but unfortunately, we couldn't find any. This led us to seek out other labs facing similar issues, gradually turning our search into a dedicated mission to reduce plastic waste in research labs.
a single lab could accumulate around 44000 pieces of single-use plastic waste in just one month."
Our
Mission
We are on a mission to eradicate the single use of plastic from research labs and medical facilities! The Atlantic Provinces hold immense potential for ocean-based derived products. We believe it's an opportunity to utilize easily available raw materials around us to create such products. As various initiatives emerge to combat climate change, there is a shift towards greater renewable energy usage.
Our aim is to develop biomaterial products that not only protect the environment from harmful consequences but also contribute to a sustainable economy. Our goal is to create eco-friendly products that generate revenue and contribute to the economic growth of the Atlantic Provinces. Formulating products using seaweed also promotes the economy of the Atlantic Province.
Blue Economy
With a coastline stretching 29,000 kilometres, Newfoundland is rich in seaweed, abundantly available along many parts of its shores. Newfoundland holds immense potential for ocean-based derived products. We believe it's an opportunity to utilize readily available raw materials around us to create such products. The global commercial seaweed market is projected to grow from $15.01 billion in 2021 to $24.92 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 7.51%. The potential of bioplastics is vast, evident by the market's impressive Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 17.56%, projected to transform it into a thriving $30 billion industry. Particularly remarkable is the untapped opportunity within the Atlantic provinces, which possess abundant resources ripe for bioplastic innovation.
