Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Stefanie Federle attends Speciality Papers Europe conference in Vienna, discussing all things sustainability, paper packaging, and seaweed-based coatings.

Hear from Kelpi’s work experience students as they complete their summer internships to gain valuable insight into working for a start up focused on sustainability

Kelpi has a busy schedule this autumn attending sustainable packaging conferences and events across Europe

Kelpi now working with L’Oréal to prototype and pilot bio-material solutions for plastic-free packaging.

Global accolade underscores Kelpi’s position as leading science-based innovator

Kelpi won the packaging category of a Europe-wide Seaweed Innovation Challenge hosted by sector champions North Sea Farmers.

170 trillion plastic particles are afloat in our oceans - representing a huge rise in plastic pollution. “Clean-up is futile” if production continues at current rates, say scientists.

Kelpi spent last week in Africa working on a UK Aid-funded initiative to mitigate plastic pollution - setting out how our bio-materials can displace the fossil fuel plastics that are washing up on beaches.

The funding will enable advanced piloting of revolutionary new packaging for food and cosmetics sectors to avoid using fossil fuel plastics.

Kelpi is today unveiled as one of Tech Nation’s Net Zero 3.0 cohort of the UK’s leading climate tech scaleups

From The Hollywood Reporter and Vogue magazine to Popular Science and Bioplastic News, Kelpi made the news this week as a finalist in the TOM FORD Plastic Innovation Prize.

Kelpi has been unveiled today as one of 8 finalists in the world’s most prestigious plastic innovation competition.

Yesterday’s historic UN treaty is a “triumph by planet Earth over single-use plastics”.

Kelpi’s growth means we’re hiring again. We want to hear from people with commercial skills and experience in packaging innovation and ideally a track record in sustainable materials.

The rising tide of marine plastic pollution constitutes a planetary emergency - an existential environmental threat on which the UN must now act.

So Kelpi successfully closed our pre-seed funding round. Here are a couple of things we learned along the way.
