The company transforms Sargassum seaweed, a resource long considered waste and that doesn\u2019t need land or other typical aids to grow, into biomaterials that replace derivatives from oil and other harmful industry inputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carbonwave&#8217;s biomaterials are focused on collecting, processing, and growing seaweed profitably at scale. The company is marketing seaweed extracts to the agricultural industry as organic fertilizers and biostimulants; plant-based (vegan) leathers for fashion and interiors; and broad-spectrum emulsifiers with a wide range of applications across cosmetics and skin-care products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/founderlodge.com\/latest-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-151-1024x513.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/founderlodge.com\/latest-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-151-1024x513.png 1024w, https:\/\/founderlodge.com\/latest-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-151-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/founderlodge.com\/latest-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-151-768x385.png 768w, https:\/\/founderlodge.com\/latest-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image-151.png 1512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re thrilled to have the support of Katapult Ocean, Viridios Capital, and Mirova as we continue to build the next-generation economies that will heal the planet through materials that are regeneratively sourced from our oceans,&#8221; said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/geoff-chapin-98a186164\/\">Geoff Chapin<\/a>, Founder of Carbonwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the funding, Carbonwave plans to expand its seaweed collection, processing, and cultivation operations, as well as accelerate its research and development efforts to create new, innovative biomaterials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Francisco Bay Area-based Carbonwave announced today that it has raised $5 million in a funding round to further its mission of creating advanced biomaterials from seaweed.
