Pitchfest 2021 Runner Up

Headquarters: Melbourne, Australia
Year Commenced: 2019
Ocean Theme: New Frontiers, Inspiration and Leisure
Mission: To put an end to petroleum based plastics. We manufacture compostable stretch wrap using mainly food waste.
Solution: We are inventing biomaterials that will allow future polymers to be marine degradable. We are working with major Australian supermarkets to make this a commercially viable option too. So far we have removed nearly 2+ million metres from landfill. We take food waste that would go to landfill and create methane and turn that into a plastic alternative.
Why is innovation to transform ocean health important to you: βSaltwater medicine is the best for any ailment. Growing up by the ocean we want to ensure our great great grandkids have a beautiful beach to grow up on tooβ - Julia Kay, Co-founder.
