Altus Polymers focuses on utilizing sargassum, an abundantly available seaweed that often washes up on beaches in large quantities, causing environmental and economic issues. This company harnesses this otherwise problematic biomass to extract a natural polymer found within the seaweed. Through a proprietary process, Altus Polymers converts this biopolymer into biodegradable bioplastic pellets. These pellets serve as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics.
