Biotech

WHAT WE DO

Kelp Blue Biotech is providing a viable long-term solution to various industries that historically rely on unsustainable inputs or extractive practices that leave a negative environmental impact by using the natural compounds found in cultivated kelp, especially giant kelp.

We strive to make a positive environmental impact on the agricultural and pharmaceutical industries by introducing a natural and ethical input material.

We exist to accelerate the shift to sustainability in multiple industries by using cultivated kelp.

We achieve this by employing a biorefinery, or zero waste model, where we use processing methods that use every component of the of the harvested material.

WHY KELP

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT ?

The existing kelp value chain is fragmented and inefficient at responding to fluctuations in supply and quality. Plus it’s generally not sustainable since much of the kelp used in leading products is harvested from wild kelp beds and forests.

Kelp Blue Biotech sources seaweed from our sister company Kelp Blue in Namibia. This allows us to have a fully integrated supply chain, from R&D, harvesting, processing to market development and sales, all with a guaranteed sustainable and steady supply.

While Kelp Blue Biotech is responsible for the processing, research and product improvements as well as sales and marketing, our sister company Kelp Blue Namibia ensures we have access to a large-scale steady supply of sustainably cultivated macrocystis– 120,000 tonnes of it per year.
