Kelpi Creates Recyclable, Low-Carbon Packaging Solutions
Laura McQuarrie — February 24, 2026Kelpi uses seaweed to create recyclable, low-carbon packaging, and meet challenges like the need for lightweight, versatile, durable alternatives to plastic. While maintaining recyclability and performance, Kelpi's paper sachets with bio-based coatings offer an exceptional water barrier and an extended shelf life.
Kelpi is one of the change-making startups and SME's chosen to participate in L'Oréal's flagship sustainable innovation program, L'AcceleratOR, chosen for its potential to address next-generation packaging. "Together, we can help L’Oréal deliver on its bold commitment to drive circularity by reducing virgin plastic use and creating packaging solutions that truly set a new standard for sustainability," said Hugo Adams, CEO of Kelpi.
Beyond beauty, Kelpi supports some of the world's largest packaging providers, supermarkets and global spirits leaders.
