Nereid Biomaterials is a women-led company developing ocean-degradable bioplastics for the blue economy. For the past seven years, Brier has collaborated with Nereid CEO and UC Santa Barbara marine biologist Alyson Santoro to bring the science behind Nereid’s work to life.
Nereid's commitment to harnessing natural capabilities to solve global problems is not only innovative – but extremely necessary.
Using a polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) base made by bacteria or plants, Nereid’s proprietary formulations can speed up or slow down degradation—an unprecedented advancement in plastic design.
Brier has been a central resource in communicating the importance of sustainable materials and the power of innovation in tackling environmental challenges—highlighting how science, art, and imagination can shape a more sustainable future.
From short documentary films and photography to a fully developed website, Brier has helped translate complex ideas into accessible, emotionally resonant media.
Brier is a full-service documentary production company based out of Oakland, California.
