B'ZEOS is a green tech company offering sustainable, home-compostable, and bio-digestible packaging solutions made from seaweed extracts to combat plastic pollution. We are based in Norway but have opened our new lab in Spain (Barcelona) and a branch in Switzerland. B’ZEOS uses kelp since it can provide a sustainable feedstock for biopolymers through both cultivation and harvesting. The manufacturing process of the material does not use harsh chemicals and does not rely on land-based crops. B’ZEOS has been part of an incubator project with Nestle. B’ZEOS has started a second collaboration for the development of the seaweed based packaging solution. We secured funds and are looking for more investments and new industrial collaborations.
