Algeon Materials

On a mission to fight climate change and reduce plastic pollution, Algeon Materials creates seaweed-based plastic alternatives for retailers and packaged goods companies.

“The Basement has been a great help to Algeon Materials on our journey here at UC San Diego. One thing that the Basement does that is so well done is that it connects us with the resources that we need, whether that’d be mentors, advisors, or subject matter experts. We can always count on the Basement to be our cheerleaders in the background, and making connections for us that we didn’t know we even need.”
