Our mission
We believe that seaweed must be part of the solution to solve the biggest challenge on our planet: climate change. Seaweed is our largest untapped resource and we must make the necessary steps to use this sustainable gift of nature. We can replace animal based protein with seaweed protein, stop deforestation for soy beans and grow local seaweed. We can replace fossil fuel based ingredients with seaweed compounds. We can stop climate change and provide the growing world population with healthy and nutritious food from seaweed.
Seaweed cultivation on sea is problematic due to contamination by shell fish, risk of heavy metals, seasonality and limited maritime space. Therefore we developed a technology for on-land cultivation of seaweed, to cultivate consistent quality seaweed, with consistent supply and high food safety. Our technology offers the highest level of control during the cultivation process, resulting is high yield and a predictable supply of traceable seaweed.
Seaweedland was started by Sven Rusticus, Mechanical Engineer from Delft University of Technology and entrepreneur in digital media. Sven worked for AkzoNobel and Gemini Consulting and sold his digital agency Icemedia in 2018. Sven is also founder of the GreenTown Curaçao Foundation, with the mission to develop multiple sustainable economic activities on Curaçao by transforming a polluting oil refinery on Curaçao, into a fully sustainable city district. Together with friend and pharmaceutical entrepreneur Anko Kuil, they developed a strategy to build sustainable seaweed production facilities on land, worldwide.
