NEW ROLE: Co-Founder, Uluu | 16 Nov 2022 |
Using seaweed products to replace plastic is just one of many Western Australian ideas under exploration to improve ocean health.
Perth-based tech startup ULUU has raised $8.6 million to develop and distribute its plastic alternative made from seaweed.
CSIRO has committed $20 million to its small business programs, including Kick-Start, which helped Perth startup Uluu launch its first product this year with Quiksilver.
Watermans Bay-based seaweed biotechnology company Uluu is among 49 local innovators to win the backing of a government fund designed to help scale WA business ideas.
WA’s seaweed industry took centre stage at the Innovator of the Year awards, with both the winner and runner up of the emerging innovation award going to seaweed products.
