Uluu Co-Founders & CEOs Dr Julia Reisser and Michael Kingsbury Speak on How Their Company Aims to Revolutionise Marine Health
Firstly, ULUU aims to target packaging and textiles as industries where its products can replace traditional, fossil fuel-derived plastic. Bigger is not necessarily better! We have realised that building and operating a small-scale test plant allows us to repeat our process more often and innovate faster. It’s super useful for innovation to have this step between the lab bench and a commercial plant.
On the technology side of things, we are using our test plant to optimise production on a smaller scale, so we can be confident in our costs and in our ability to produce a consistent product when we scale up. Can you elaborate on Uluu’s use of farmed seaweed rather than terrestrial crops or waste as a carbon source to produce a plastic alternative?
