WHY ALGAE?

Renewable Resource
Algae is the fastest growing plant on Earth – it can double its size in as little as 24 hours – making it one of Earth’s most renewable resources
No Chemicals
Algae growing naturally does not require fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides to grow
No Deforestation
Unlike other biomaterials, algae does not require arable land to grow – preserving precious rainforests
Nature’s Plastic
Algae’s qualities allow it to act like a plastic, which makes blending algae with other polymers easier!
Too Much!
BUT, too much algae in the environment can be extremely harmful…

BLOOM leverages the positive attributes of algae to create materials that are better for the environment than the fossil based materials they replace, simultaneously tackling the issue of harmful algae blooms by aiding in the harvesting of nuisance algae and returning clean water to the environment.
