Cody Blue Solutions — From sea to soil
From sea
to soil

We turn waste sargassum into high-performance agricultural and industrial products — better performing, lower cost, fully circular.

The problem

Sargassum is the symptom, not the cause.

Like an iceberg, the visible crisis hides deeper system failures driving it — and worsening it.

The visible

Sargassum inundation

>37.5M tonnes a year (13% CAGR) — toxic decomposition, contaminated biomass, coastal economic collapse.

Hidden cause

Degraded soils & fertiliser runoff

~15% of global fertiliser ends up in waterways — fuelling the blooms while farmland loses its biology.

Hidden cause

Untreated industrial pollution

>90% untreated across developing economies — heavy metals accumulate in the very biomass washing ashore.

Hidden cause

A warming climate

Warmer, nutrient-rich oceans create the perfect conditions for the largest seaweed blooms in history.

We're unique in using the sargassum itself to relieve these pressures — three mitigation methods in one circular platform.

Our vision

Four ways we turn waste into value.

One circular platform addresses the crisis on every front — from the ocean to the soil to the atmosphere.

01

Re-purpose waste

Circular processing turns washed-up sargassum into productive feedstock — nothing landfilled.

02
SargaStim™

Regenerate soil

A biostimulant that rebuilds yield, resilience and soil biology in degraded farmland.

03
SargaSorb™

Remediate water

A bio-based sorbent that strips heavy metals from water at a fraction of conventional cost.

04

Re-capture CO₂

Soil remediation and bio-based products draw down and lock away atmospheric carbon.

The business model
We don't manage sargassum. We valorise it.

A circular bioprocessing platform that integrates the entire value chain — from the beach to the finished product, with nothing wasted.

Feedstock harvested

Waste sargassum cleared from beaches at near-zero cost.

Proprietary decontamination

Heavy metals removed — the bottleneck that blocks the industry.

Processing & formulation

Proprietary conversion into two market-ready products.

SargaStim™ & SargaSorb™

Biostimulant + heavy-metal sorbent.

>100 kT Sargassum removed / year at scale
>70 Direct jobs created
100% Biomass utilisation
Y3 Modelled to self-funding
Our products

Two products. One circular platform.

Built to fit your existing operations — no new infrastructure, no synthetic chemicals.

Biostimulant

SargaStim™

Fermented seaweed biostimulant · agriculture & feed

A fully organic, multi-stage fermented input with seven classes of bioactive compound. Applied at 3–20 L/ha through standard spray equipment.

  • Targets yield, root development and stress tolerance
  • Works with existing kit — no new hardware
  • Dual use across crop agriculture and animal feed
Industrial sorbent

SargaSorb™

Bio-based heavy-metal sorbent · water remediation

Removes lead, copper, arsenic and cadmium from water through a multi-mechanism capture system. Packs into standard columns and geotextile socks.

  • Targets multiple heavy metals simultaneously
  • Fits existing column and filter infrastructure
  • Regenerable — spent material stabilised, not landfilled

Your numbers

Indicative only, based on configurable reference figures. Actual outcomes depend on crop, soil, climate, water chemistry and operating conditions. Contact us for a formal assessment.

Where we are

Rigorously validated — step by step.

We don't publish results before they're independently verified. Here's the path from lab to market.

Phase 1 · Now
Underway

Internal trials

Controlled in-house testing to validate formulation and guide the programme.

Phase 2 · Now–Sep '26
In progress

Independent labs

ISO-certified laboratory analysis under accredited methodology.

Phase 3 · Sep '26
Upcoming

Field trials

Grant-funded, association and university validation at commercial scale.

Phase 4 · Dec '26
Upcoming

Commercial pilots

End-user and distributor trials converting validated results into offtake.

Full trial data and methodology are available to qualified partners under NDA.

Sustainability

Circular by design, not by claim.

Our model turns environmental liabilities into productive value — using waste as feedstock and returning nothing to landfill.

  • Waste sargassum as a near-zero-cost, regenerative feedstock
  • 100% biomass utilisation — zero waste, no harsh chemicals
  • Cleaner coastlines, restored soils and carbon drawdown
Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals
