KELPI

Kelpi is a pioneering biotech company based in Bristol, UK, dedicated to replacing single-use plastics with premium performance bioplastics derived from seaweed. Their innovative materials offer strong water and oxygen barriers, as well as grease and acid resistance, making them suitable for applications in the food and beverage and cosmetics sectors. Kelpi's commitment to sustainability is evident through their use of renewable feedstocks and their achievement of B Corp Certification in late 2023. In 2024, they secured £4.35 million in investment to accelerate the development and commercialization of their seaweed-based bioplastic packaging. Collaborating with global brands, Kelpi is at the forefront of creating environmentally friendly packaging solutions that address the challenges of plastic pollution and fossil fuel dependence.
