Our founders, Craig Kasberg and Zach Wilkinson, met in Alaska in 2015 through their mutual love of the ocean. They both shared the vision that chitosan had the unique potential to help humanity and our planet on an industrial scale – by displacing harmful chemistries. Tidal Vision was founded with a vision of reducing waste and encouraging sustainable fisheries by upcycling their byproducts. Our founders saw firsthand how in Alaska alone, two billion pounds of fish and crab byproducts are discarded to rot annually. The shells of crustaceans were being put in landfills - yet, locked in those shells was this biomolecule with amazing potential.
