Harnessing Seaweed: Rethinking Biomanufacturing for a Regenerative Economy
Manage episode 486446558 series 3577685
In this episode of Ideas for Impact, we dive into the world of seaweed and marine biologics with Patrick Griffin, CEO of Marine Biologics, and Spencer Serin, CSO. Together, they explore how seaweed—often overlooked and underutilized—is poised to transform the future of biomanufacturing.
From methane-reducing feed to bioactive compounds for food, cosmetics, and materials, Marine Biologics is building a scalable, science-backed approach to seaweed innovation. They’re not just creating products—they’re reshaping entire supply chains, one macroalgae strand at a time.
Patrick and Spencer share their journeys from tech and cheese-making to building a data-powered, global venture in the blue economy. They reveal what it takes to stabilize a fickle crop like seaweed, the challenges of global operations, and why collaboration is key to systems-level impact.
Tune in for a conversation on chemistry, circularity, and the power of building regenerative economies from the ocean up.
