Dirigo Sea Farm is a women founded materials company using Maine kelp to produce bioplastic films to replace single-use and non-biodegradable plastic. Our first application is a Maine made laundry pod using Maine grown kelp that replaces harmful PVA laundry pods. All laundry pods today are plastic and Dirigo Sea Farm is the first non-plastic pod alternative that gives consumers convenience without sacrificing performance or ethics. Dirigo Sea Farm exists to support and grow Maine's heritage sea economy.

Just finished drafting latest Dirigo Sea Farm newsletter. It's about product certifications we may/may not apply for with our launch. I really want to know what folks think about these certifications - I, for one, think many of them (but not all!) are BS, but that could just be me.
