Responsible consumption and production
A drop-in replacement for petroleum plastic that composts at end of life, made for the packaging industry's hardest category.
Alaagi is built to move the needle on the goals where plastic does the most damage, and where seaweed can do the most good.
Most seaweed bioplastics ship their raw material across the Pacific. Ours is grown and harvested in Atlantic Canadian waters, processed in Halifax, and sold to packagers in the same region. The supply chain is as short as the problem is close.
Our feedstock comes from regenerative farms along the Nova Scotia coast, with partners like Acadian Seaplants. No land, fresh water or fertilizer, and no ocean freight before it reaches us.
Extraction, formulation and pelletizing happen in our Halifax lab, and the resin runs on partner lines like Scotia Plastics without new machinery.
The communities that live with marine plastic are the ones farming the seaweed that replaces it. Scaling Alaagi scales their work.
Alaagi runs out of Atlantic Canada and the Gulf, with Europe next. Hover a hub to zoom in.
Filled markers are active operations. Outlined markers are where we are expanding next.
Where Alaagi is headed, year by year. Open a year to see what ships.
Move from pilot volumes to industrial output with Scotia Plastics and partner lines.
Thirteen LOIs, including Sobeys and High Liner Foods, become committed volume.
UAE operations already connect Alaagi to Emirates Biotech and European Bioplastics networks.
Canada, the UAE and Southeast Asia, so material is made close to where it is used.
Thermoformable materials, injection-molded components, agricultural films and cosmetic packaging.
A seaweed supply chain that pays coastlines to regenerate.
Global scale, replacing tens of millions of kilograms of petroleum plastic a year.
