Protect the Earth with One Solution:Bloomo
We harness the photosynthetic power and nutrient-absorbing capabilities of microalgae to improve the global environment and tackle the pressing challenges of climate change, water scarcity, and food security—through the power of nature. With Bloomo, we unlock the full potential of microalgae to create sustainable solutions for these global issues.
Algal bloom capture enables carbon neutrality, water neutrality, food production, and CO₂ sequestration.

For the Seafood Industry
It can be used for short-term fattening, seedling production, bivalve purification, feed production, and land-based aquaculture purification systems, among other applications.
For the Water treatment industry
Biological filtration, nitrogen and phosphorus recovery, industrial wastewater treatment, sewage treatment, and microplastic removal can all be achieved in a low-cost, low-energy, and decarbonized manner.
Sustainable Materials
Materials from algae and shells
Our approach leverages nutrient-rich microalgae to produce sustainable fertilizers and aquafeed, while utilizing calcified bivalve shells as long-term carbon fixation resources. These shells are processed into value-added products such as soil conditioners and low-carbon concrete materials, contributing to material circularity and climate mitigation.
LCA & CC/CO assessment
Our service evaluates the environmental impact and CO₂ reduction potential of algae-derived fertilizers and feed, and bivalve shell-based soil enhancers and construction materials, using methodology such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and carbon credit (CC) / offset (CO) frameworks.
Novelglue
Novelglue
Mimicking the natural underwater bonding mechanism of mussels and other shellfish, it adheres strongly even in wet environments, while being free of harmful solvents or synthetic resins.
This environmentally friendly formulation offers stable performance, low toxicity, and excellent flexibility, making it ideal for delicate applications involving skin contact or biological interfaces.
For multipurpose applications
It can be applied as a medical-grade skin adhesive, offering gentle yet secure adhesion for wound closure or device fixation. Its tunable properties also make it suitable for use as a surgical or tissue adhesive in minimally invasive medical procedures. Additionally, it holds promise as a coating material for cell culture substrates, promoting cell attachment while minimizing cytotoxicity.
