Our Active Project Partner, John Richardson, has been hard at work developing SeaBrick into a viable product.
SeaBrick is a floating, interlocking brick system made from agricultural waste fiber – in the future from seaweed, but starting with flax, straw and hemp fiber.
SeaBrick will be used to build docks, floats and pontoons to start, disrupting the marine infrastructure space as there are currently no renewable products used to build marine infrastructure! SeaBrick will sell building sets for docks, floats and pontons to be towed to the customer or assembled on site. In time, it will be used to create floating habitats, like the prototype of a bunkhouse made of SeaBrick.
The design process took four years. Watch this video of a SeaBrick prototype floating in a pond:
SeaBrick was recently approved by Indigenous Coastal Innovations Canada, with their partner, the Heiltsuk Nation, to develop the first SeaBrick manufacturing plant proposal. They have been green-lit for a $1M government of Canada grant.
To continue to the next stage, they are assembling a group of aligned investors to match the $1M grant.
Contact John Richardson if you are interested in becoming an investor.
