BLOOM · SARGASSUM NATURAL FIBER

Sargassum, transformed into a natural fiber.

We are transforming invasive sargassum into a natural fiber called Bloom, a sustainable raw material for the global textile market. Harvested at sea off the coast of Belize and refined to a written specification, Bloom gives apparel, home decor and luxury packaging a regenerative, biodegradable source, and gives coastal communities a reason to welcome the tide.

Bags of Bloom, sargassum natural fiber

FROM THE WATER TO THE BAG

Every batch begins at sea.

Our captains harvest sargassum while it is still afloat, where the material is clean and light. Nothing we sell has touched the beach.

At the facility, our processors wash away the salt, sand and metals the ocean leaves behind, then dry and refine the harvest into a clean, dry fiber. We record every step, so each bag traces to the day its sargassum left the water. The result is a fiber you can plan around: the same color, texture and chemistry from one order to the next.

THE CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS

We show you what is in the bag before you open it.

An independent laboratory tests every batch. The Certificate of Analysis arrives with your order, and we provide it on request before you buy.

The certificate reports the nutrients that give Bloom its value and the heavy metals that sargassum draws from seawater, measured against the limits major markets apply to natural materials. Textile makers learn exactly what enters their line. Manufacturers receive the documentation their quality systems require. Innovators begin with a known fiber rather than a question.

HOW BLOOM IS USED

One fiber, many directions.

❋

In textiles

Spinners and designers turn Bloom into apparel and home decor, a fiber that begins in the ocean and returns to the earth without harm.

⌘

In manufacturing

Manufacturers fold Bloom into luxury packaging and the materials they already produce, with a specification and certificate that fit their quality process. We supply the grade and volume their lines require.

✳

In new products

Innovators begin with Bloom and arrive at building materials, personal care and products Belize has never made. Our accelerator supplies the material, the science and the facility. Learn about the accelerator ↗
