Maturity stage TRL 6 / 7 - Prototype demonstration 1:1

Kelsun® is a revolutionary fiber, created by pairing seaweed biopolymers with our proprietary bio-based formulation to create a material that easily biodegrades at its end of life. Synthetics that are petroleum-derived can take hundreds of years to decompose in the environment and contaminate our oceans, bodies, and ecosystems with microplastics. Kelsun is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing textile manufacturing processes, offering industries like apparel, home goods, and non-wovens a viable path to reduce their reliance on water and land-intensive crops, petrochemicals, and greenhouse gas-emitting processes. We strive to empower companies to embrace change without compromising performance or scalability. Together, we can build a resilient future—one where innovation drives sustainability, and the materials we use enrich rather than deplete the world around us.
