Kelp-Film: B’ZEOS Utvikling av bærekraftige tangbaserte filmer og produksjonsoptimalisering

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

B’ZEOS is developing sustainable seaweed-based films to replace fossil-based packaging. The project aims to pilot-scale production from compounded pellets toward industrial-scale films, ensuring consistent quality, mechanical and barrier performance, and regulatory compliance. Key challenges include optimizing formulations, extrusion and film conversion processes, and validating performance in customer automated filling lines. B’ZEOS will first validate the film conversion line and test it with automated filling, and later validate the pellet compounding line. A systematic, iterative approach combining lab- and pilot-scale trials, process optimization, and regulatory assessment will generate the knowledge and operational procedures for further advancing our products. The project will foster Norwegian innovation, create new green jobs, strengthen R&D partnerships, and unlock large-scale opportunities for Norway’s emerging seaweed industry.
