The clean-label movement is here to stay. Major food and beverage brands are phasing out artificial dyes in favour of cleaner, safer, nature-derived alternatives.

SeaStock’s RUBY SEA™ pigment, derived from algae, is positioned to capture this growing demand, offering a bold, sustainable red that aligns with the global shift toward natural colourings.

Turning Mine Pit Water into Climate Solutions

We’re proud to see SeaStock featured in National Resources Review for our innovative collaboration with Regis Resources.

Together, we’re assessing how underutilised mine pit water can be repurposed to cultivate Asparagopsis and other algae species — unlocking solutions to:

✅ Support Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) generation
✅ Mitigate over 1.3 million tonnes of CO₂ annually
✅ Meet the demand of more than half a million cattle per day
✅ Create long-term, sustainable employment opportunities
✅ Enable the generation of future renewable energy such as SAF, further supporting global decarbonisation initiatives

Importantly, the potential of algae-based solutions extends beyond agriculture and mining. For the oil & gas sector, algae cultivation and compound extraction represent practical, scalable pathways to reduce methane and CO₂ emissions, while contributing to net zero strategies.

This 12-month staged study marks a significant step in transforming existing infrastructure into large-scale algae production facilities — delivering both environmental impact and economic value.

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting the Grower Group Alliance team at SeaStock HQ in Fremantle. 🌾

The group visited as part of their team development program, with a focus on exploring value-adding opportunities for on-farm waste streams. During their time at SeaStock, they toured our facilities, viewed our growing tanks and learnt more about our work to cultivate seaweed both at our Fremantle site and in planned on-farm trials.

We discussed how Asparagopsis can play a role in creating new revenue streams for farmers while delivering environmental benefits such as reduced methane emissions, improved soil health and the potential for natural pigment and bioactive extraction. 🧑‍🌾

It’s always exciting to connect with industry groups who share our vision for innovation in agriculture and the circular economy.

🍦Over 90% of U.S. ice cream producers have pledged to remove synthetic food dyes - including Red 3 and Red 40, from their products by 2028.

As the industry phases out artificial reds, SeaStock’s natural Asparagopsis-derived pigment, RUBY SEA™, is poised to meet the surge in demand for clean-label alternatives.

The shift is clear: consumers want real ingredients. We’re here to deliver them.

🚨 The shift away from artificial food dyes is accelerating and SeaStock is ready.

Kraft Heinz has announced it will eliminate all synthetic dyes from its products by 2027, following a policy push from U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to phase out artificial food dyes across the country.

As consumer demand and regulatory pressure grow, food giants are racing to replace petroleum-based colours with sustainable, natural alternatives. This marks another clear move toward natural ingredients and a shift that plays directly into SeaStock’s strength.

🌱 Powered by marine biotechnology, SeaStock’s red pigment (R-phycoerythrin) offers a natural, high-purity, marine-derived colourant. SeaStock is pioneering the next generation of natural colourants for food and beverage applications.

🇳🇿🤝🇦🇺 SeaStock is on the ground in New Zealand as part of the WA agrifood-tech delegation for Fieldays® 2025!

Following the success of evokeAG 2024 in Perth — where we hosted key NZ stakeholders — it’s great to be continuing the Trans-Tasman collaboration. Our Managing Director, Tom Puddy, has joined a strong WA delegation for meetings, site tours and two big days at Fieldays, exploring opportunities to connect and scale sustainable ag-tech solutions.

A standout moment was the visit to The FoodBowl (NZFIN), where conversations begun at evokeAG continued in person — deepening ties between two innovation ecosystems working toward a more resilient, productive and sustainable future.
