Originally established to produce pharmaceutical grade agar, the Pterocladia seaweed collected from our pristine New Zealand coastlines is now used to create products that include seaweed oil, garden mulch, bee nutrition and others currently in development with our research team.
If you are interested in collecting and supplying Pterocladia seaweed from your local beach, please call us now for supplier packs and information. Earn $6.00 per kg for clean and dried Pterocladia seaweed.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
