Okeanos

Okeanos develops sustainable packaging materials that significantly reduce plastic content and associated carbon footprints. Its core offering, Made From Stone, is a patented technology utilizing calcium carbonate to create packaging that can run on existing manufacturing lines without extensive retooling. This advanced material aims to replace a substantial portion of traditional plastic in various applications, providing an eco-friendlier alternative.

The company was co-founded in 2018 by Florencio Cuétara, who serves as Chairman and CEO, and Dr. Russ Petrie. Their shared insight stemmed from the critical need for more sustainable solutions within the packaging industry, prompting them to explore innovative material science to address environmental concerns. They sought to engineer a viable, scalable alternative to conventional plastics.

Okeanos' products are adopted by brands globally seeking to improve their environmental impact. The company also collaborates directly with manufacturers, converters, and governments to integrate its stone-based technology across the supply chain. Its vision is to lead the widespread transition to materials that drastically diminish plastic use and reduce carbon emissions at the source, fostering a more sustainable future for packaging.
