About
At Marea, we redefine waste. We create circular solutions through advanced biotechnology and innovation.
Our mission is to transform overlooked resources—such as algae and fish waste—into high-value products that drive sustainability and economic impact.
Our unique approach ensures each solution is built on an activated supply chain, delivering tangible value to the industries we collaborate with while directly responding to community demands for sustainable options. From Waste to Value, we are laying the groundwork for a resilient and sustainable future.

Regenerative Economy
By leveraging sustainable production methods and harnessing the high-value compounds found in macroalgae, we create bioplastics that naturally biodegrade while ensuring resources are continuously replenished. Our approach focuses on sustainable regeneration, promoting environmental health and supporting circular production.
Full-Utilisation
Maximising the lifecycle of resources by transforming waste into valuable products, ensuring nothing goes to waste. We leverage every part of a resource to its fullest potential, leaving no material unused. This approach not only minimizes environmental impact but also drives innovation in processing and resource management, creating new value across industries.
Waste-to-Value
Turning discarded materials into high-value products by maximizing resource potential through upcycling. Our approach can impact industries by unlocking new possibilities in processing. By using resources to their fullest, we drive efficiency, sustainability, and innovation across the supply chain.

OUR SOLUTIONS
Innovative Materials Redefining Packaging: Our creations either completely eliminate the need for plastic or replace it with biodegradable alternatives that naturally break down and return to the earth, leaving no trace behind.
ICEBOREA: Edible Coatings for Plastic-Free Produce
THARAPLAST: Bioplastics from Algae and Beyond
ICEBOREA is our innovative edible coating solution made from repurposed algal biomass. It enhances the shelf life of fresh produce, such as cucumbers, while eliminating the need for plastic. By repurposing spent algae, we create a sustainable alternative that preserves nutrients and minimises environmental impact.
THARAPLAST converts algae and by-products from the fishing industry into high-performance bioplastic films. A sustainable alternative to conventional plastics, designed to reduce environmental impact while fostering resource efficiency. Suitable for various applications, our bioplastics combine functionality with biodegradability.
