From ocean biomass to everyday applications

Manatee works with brands, converters and manufacturers to bring seaweed into real products and packaging. Our services cover the whole journey, from raw biomass to industrial scale, and can be used on their own or together.

Seaweed biomass refining. We refine seaweed into functional biomaterial fractions such as alginate-rich, cellulose-rich and bulk grades, ready for use in formulations and material solutions.

Exploration projects. We help you explore how seaweed biomaterials can be used across your product and packaging portfolio, and identify where they create real value.

Proof of Concept projects. We take promising applications from idea to evidence through prototyping, visualisation, value chain orchestration and a business case that shows the route to market.

Scale-up to industrial manufacturing. When a concept is proven, we support the move to industrial production, connecting the right partners, processes and supply.

Technical Development

Behind every project is our ongoing R&D program. We work with seaweed species with exceptional material properties and refine the processing techniques that unlock their full potential, creating high-quality raw materials that are ready to scale.
