Regenerative blue biotechnology, Blue Evolution has merged with Blu3 Inc., a company that specializes in regenerative ocean technologies. The resulting company will be vertically integrated with expertise in seaweed farming, bioproduct development, and market-ready applications across food, agriculture, biomaterials, and critical minerals.
Operating as Blue Evolution, the company will leverage its enhanced capabilities to accelerate R&D, commercialize innovative products, and expand its global reach. The merger provides a platform to rapidly scale Blue Evolution’s seaweed-based solutions across four primary market categories:
● Food and health: expanding the supply of seaweed-based foods and functional health products to meet rising consumer demand for nutrient-dense, sustainable ingredients.
● Ag and feed: advancing seaweed-based biostimulants and soil amendments for agriculture, enhancing crop productivity and soil health while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
● Biomaterials: innovating sustainable materials derived from seaweed, including bioplastics, composites, and green chemistry products for textiles and industrial use.
● Critical minerals: developing regenerative methods to extract valuable minerals from seaweed, offering a renewable alternative to traditional mining practices.
Blue Evolution has committed to a broader environmental and social impact including nature-based blue carbon capture, utilization, and storage; promoting ocean de-acidification; mitigating coastal pollution and erosion; restoring habitats and fisheries; and driving sustainable economic growth and entrepreneurship in rural coastal areas, especially within seafaring indigenous communities.
“This merger marks a pivotal moment for Blue Evolution’s growth,” said Beau Perry, CEO of Blue Evolution. “By integrating our operations, technology, and expertise under one umbrella, we are poised to lead a seaweed revolution—driving regenerative solutions at scale while creating natural capital for our investors, partners, and the planet.”
