How do you define sustainably sourced seaweed?

There’s no industry-wide definition for sustainably sourced seaweed. So at Rootless, we believe that sustainable seaweed is seaweed that is: grown without depleting the environment around it; harvested by humans who are equipped, trained, and fairly paid; and wild harvested or farmed in ways that don’t throw off the natural balance. We carefully vet our seaweed suppliers to make sure this is the case.
