Blue Planet Ecosystems develops and operates modular closed-loop photoprotein reactors for sustainable food production in extreme environments. The company designs self-sustaining aquaculture systems powered by renewable energy that convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into sugars, amino and fatty acids, making nutrients available for zooplankton and fish. Its technology enables organic seafood production close to consumers on nontraditional farming sites, helping farmers and agricultural businesses diversify production in response to climate change. Founded in 2018 and based in San Francisco, Blue Planet Ecosystems focuses on pollutant-free, high-quality aquaculture with minimal environmental impact by turning sunlight into feed and enabling new farming methods.

traceless materials is offering a holistically sustainable alternative to plastics and bioplastics. With our first-of-a-kind biomaterial it’s our mission to contribute to solving global plastic pollution. Our innovative technology filed for patent allows to use food production residues to produce materials that are compostable under natural composting conditions. While bio-based, our materials don’t compete with food nor cause land-use-change, don’t need hazardous additives or solvents and have up to 95% lower CO2 emissions. Our materials are neither chemically modified nor synthetically polymerized, therefore they will not fall under the EU Single Use Plastic Directive. Follow us on our journey, and become a part of the solution, not the pollution!
