As a sustainable materials company, our innovation is built on the premise of mirroring the natural efficiency of marine ecosystems. We believe that materials should be regeneratively grown, renewably sourced, and created without environmental harm.
This philosophy drove us to create Kelsun™, our flagship product. Kelsun is a seaweed-based yarn with a significantly lower environmental footprint than legacy fibers, making it a powerful alternative to conventional materials that deplete resources and are harmful to our planet.
Keel Labs, begun as AlgiKnit in 2017, officially became KeelLabs in 2022. AlgiKnit was extremely functional in name and in vision — we used algae to make fibers. Our new name reflects a fundamental shift in how we think about the challenge of creating sustainable materials and an acknowledgement that the scope of our work is so much greater than we imagined.
We do not just make Kelsun, our flagship fiber, we're building a future in which sustainable aquaculture derived from materials span industries and applications to repair humanity's relationship with our natural ecosystems.
