What Okeanos does

Okeanos Group, LLC is a privately held materials company headquartered in Miami, Florida, founded in 2019 by Florencio Cuétara and Dr. Russ Petrie. It develops and commercializes the Made From Stone™ platform, a family of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)-based mineral-polymer compounds that replace up to 80% of the petroleum-derived resin in single-use packaging while running on existing extrusion, molding, and thermoforming equipment. The portfolio spans three families: functional additives (Bioterra-M, Seafoam, Shoal), patented Building Compounds (BC01–BC12) for blown film, sheet extrusion, injection, thermoforming, and blow molding, and Compostable Compounds (CC01, CC02) for home and industrial compostable end-of-life.

The company operates 14 manufacturing plants across 10 countries spanning the Americas, Europe, and Asia, with a regional R&D center (OKIV) in Cincinnati, a Buenos Aires regional office, and a newly established Asia-Pacific headquarters, Okeanos Japan LLC, in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Its go-to-market blends direct enterprise sales to packaging converters and consumer brands (e.g., Grupo Danec/Regia in Ecuador, MAPSA and SuperBol in Argentina), regional distribution and channel partnerships (MCT Dairies globally, Empaqplast in Ecuador), and presence at major industry trade shows across regions.

Okeanos earns revenue through sales of proprietary compounds, licensing of its patented technology to manufacturing partners, and co-branding with consumer brands that incorporate the Made From Stone™ globe mark and QR-based Dynamic LCA transparency on packaging. It holds ISO 9001:2015 (DNV), FDA food-contact approval, SEDEX membership, and was selected for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government GX Support Project in May 2026. The company was self-funded through 2024 and filed an SEC Form D exempt offering for $1.5M in 2025 as it begins to access external capital.

Core offering

Okeanos develops and manufactures Made From Stone™, a proprietary calcium carbonate-based mineral-polymer compound that replaces up to 80% of petroleum-derived plastic in packaging. The company sells these compounds, additives, and compostable formulations to packaging converters and consumer brand manufacturers globally, with the materials running on existing extrusion, molding, and thermoforming equipment without modifications. Okeanos also licenses its technology to manufacturing partners and operates 14 plants across 10 countries with locally sourced calcium carbonate.

Product overview

Okeanos develops Made From Stone™ technology, a portfolio of calcium carbonate-based packaging materials that replace conventional petroleum-derived plastics. The product line includes three categories: (1) Additives (Bioterra-M, Seafoam, Shoal) - functional additives for various manufacturing processes; (2) Building Compounds (BC01-BC12) - patented mineral-polymer compounds for blown film extrusion, sheet extrusion, injection molding, thermoforming, and blow molding applications; and (3) Compostable Compounds (CC01, CC02) - certified compostable mineral-polymer compounds for blown film applications. The technology enables up to 80% plastic reduction while maintaining product performance, running on existing manufacturing equipment without requiring capital investment in new machinery. Applications span dairy, food & beverage, home care, personal care, agro, industrial, and pharma packaging segments. Production is conducted locally across 14 plants worldwide.
