THE TOXIC PFAS REPLACEMENT MADE FROM SEAWEED

A 100% natural, non-toxic alternative that is safer for people and planet — high performing, cost-competitive, and scalable solution

PFAS - a Global Threat

'Forever chemicals' contaminate our water, food, and bodies, and they never go away

Toxic to Humans

PFAS 'forever chemicals' are linked to cancer, Alzheimer's, and infertility — found in 50% of clothing, home textiles and food packaging (32%). 

Environmental 

PFAS never break down causing pollution across the planet. They accumulate in water, soil, and air, and continue to worsen climate change and ocean acidification.

Regulatory

Governments worldwide are banning PFAS. Industries must transition to safer alternatives  — many alternatives still rely on other synthetic chemicals not yet banned.

Urgent Need for Replacement

Natural PFAS alternative

made 100% from Seaweed

 

Non-Toxic & Safe

Safer for humans, animals, and ecosystems. 

Regenerative Biomass

Seaweed is an untapped circular biomass that sustains ocean ecosystems and produces oxygen. Its natural abundance enables scalable cost-competitive production.

Highly Effective

Water-repellent, flame-retardant that performs as well as PFAS.

 

Algae Scope develops PFAS-replacement solutions across different sectors:  textiles, electronics, construction and food packaging - for water- & fire-resistance.
