WATER IS the source of LIFE
TODAY’S PROTEIN PRODUCTION IS INEFFICIENT AND COMPROMISES OUR WATERS, OUR BIODIVERSITY, AND OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT.
We source out nutrition from water - working with microscopic organisms found in freshwater and marine environments that can be fermented hyper-efficiently and optimised to create highly functional, protein-packed nutrition.
Marine Whey™ requires only a fraction of the water, land, and time compared to other protein sources (dairy, soy, pea and other benchmarks) and emits a fraction of the greenhouse gasses. With a complete amino-acid profile and non-GMO value proposition, our solutions are an untapped source of high-quality nutrition.
We are passionate about the blue economy. We push for the sustainable use of ocean and water resources and focus on improved livelihoods while preserving the health of our oceans and biosphere.
Through our partnership with leading marine science park, Cawthron Institute, we are exploring 900 strains to optimize for leading nutrition solutions. Marine Whey™ relies on organisms that can be harnessed with no interference to sentient marine life - we grow in fermenters and our production does not compete with arable land.
OUR IMPACT
OUR IMPACT
We aim to reduce carbon emissions by 7.3 million tonnes, preventing 9 million hectares of forest from conversion to farmland, and reducing water use by 553 million cubic meters. This impact mission is based on the supply of 200,000 tonnes Marine Whey™ instead of US-sourced dairy whey protein. Global dairy and nutrition companies are worried about the supply deficit for dairy over the next twenty years, and our Marine Whey™ can complement natural dairy solutions to feed more people safe, high quality nutrition.
NXW EXPLORE
We are designing future-friendly nutrition solutions with a particular focus on the cultivation and processing of nutrition from water for affordable, sports, medical and advanced nutrition categories.
NXW COALITION
Alongside science partners like Cawthron Institute, we collaborate with international governments from New Zealand, Ireland, USA, and Portugal to build a new global nutrition category. We work in coalition with some of the world’s leading dairy and nutrition companies to bring to life nutrition solutions fit for the 21st Century. An example of this is our partnership with the open innovation ecosystem, MISTA Foods, in San Francisco, USA.
NXW LEAD
We lead by example with a bold impact-focused approach and have seasoned backers who push us to think beyond our planet. Our investors include SOSV, IndieBio, Katapult Ocean, Outset Ventures, along with several globally-focused family offices who value our waters and oceans and want to build brilliant technologies with us to feed two billion more lives on this planet.
Marine Whey™ is an abundant, non-GMO protein that produces 37x less CO2 than beef and can be scaled efficiently across cities, farms and communities.
Microalgae’s nutrition profile is comparable to premium animal proteins, with a complete amino acid profile, high levels of protein, essential minerals and vitamins (24, 25, 28) and other bioactives.
