Swiss company B’ZEOS, with pioneering seaweed-based packaging, has secured funding from Faber and ICIG Ventures. B’ZEOS’ mission statement is “the future of sustainable packaging is seaweed,” and this funding success marks a significant moment in its goal to revolutionize the packaging industry, which is largely populated with plastic.
After a previously successful round of funding, B’ZEOS is now up to over €5 million (USD $5.2 million) of money raised.
“We’ve developed a truly sustainable seaweed-based packaging solution,” said Guy Maurice, Founder & SeaEO of B’ZEOS, in a statement. “Our focus extends beyond eco-friendliness; we’re providing a scalable, industry-ready alternative for global packaging manufacturers.”

The seaweed-based packaging B’ZEOS creates is home-compostable and eco-friendly, but its innovation also makes it able to integrate with existing production lines. Other advantages of seaweed include low land and freshwater usage, no microplastics released, and the fact it can grow rapidly. B’ZEOS has already collaborated with the likes of Nestlé to demonstrate its effectiveness.
