Algae is the fastest growing plant on Earth, and it is a vital component of aquatic ecosystems. However, the rise in global temperatures, excess nutrient runoff, and human activities have contributed to an uncontrollable rise in algae growth in ecosystems around the world—harming plant, animal, and even human life.
Bloom decided to turn that negative into a positive by utilizing excess algae biomass harvested from ecosystems in need of algae management. Algae biomass does not require fossil fuel or arable land to grow, making it the perfect resource for creating useful materials.
By implementing algae biomass into performance products around the world, Bloom has created a strong market and efficient supply chain for algae as a sustainable resource, all the while helping create and maintain healthy ecosystems.
Rise is your environmentally-conscious, high-performance replacement for traditional petroleum-based EVAs.
Foams utilizing Bloom’s algae technology deliver striking performance values, which make them excellent replacements for conventional foams.
Algae’s natural thermoplastic qualities allow Rise to meet, and in some cases exceed performance characteristics of conventional closed-cell flexible foams.
APPLICATIONS
Rise by Bloom is an algae-blended resin containing a significant fraction of algae biomass and bio-based additives. Rise has a renewable content of at least 45%, offsetting a significant portion of traditional EVA required for footwear foams.
