## About

Founded in 2024 and based in Incheon, South Korea, Studio Dasimulgyeol Co., Ltd., doing business as Dasiwave, is focused on developing high-performance bioplastics designed to replace traditional petroleum-derived materials, offering sustainable solutions to pressing environmental challenges. Dasiwave, founded in 2024 in Incheon, South Korea, specializes in bioplastics. The company operates independently without any known subsidiaries or parent companies. As of July 2026, the company is led by CEOs Hyung-jo Kim and Seung-geun Lee. In July 2026, Dasiwave raised an undisclosed amount of pre-series A funding from new investor Merry Year Social Company.

Dasiwave specializes in the development of high-performance bioplastics, particularly their flagship product, 'Reo,' which is a PHA-based bioplastic designed to replace conventional petroleum-derived plastics. This innovative material is engineered to be microplastic-free and fully biodegradable, addressing critical issues associated with traditional plastics that can take over a century to decompose while contributing to environmental degradation. Dasiwave's products are designed for various applications, particularly in industries such as aquaculture, where marine pollution from plastic waste is a significant concern. The company's marine-biodegradable buoys, developed from their advanced REO-MR130 material, are currently undergoing proof-of-concept testing in South Korea, with plans for commercial release scheduled in the second half of 2026. Dasiwave’s target markets include environmentally conscious businesses and organizations across multiple sectors, focusing on regions affected by plastic pollution, including South Korea and other coastal nations.

Dasiwave's revenue is generated primarily through the sale of its specialized bioplastic products, catering to both B2B and direct consumer markets. The company engages in transactions with aquaculture farms and other businesses requiring sustainable materials, providing an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastics. Pricing for Dasiwave's products varies depending on grade and order volume, with the REO-MR130 grade typically positioned at a price point 1.3 to 1.7 times higher than conventional PLA resin. Clients can place orders directly or through partnerships with distributors, ensuring that the transition to sustainable materials is accessible for businesses seeking to align with environmental standards. The company is actively working on reducing manufacturing costs as it scales up production, potentially enhancing its competitive position in the market.

Dasiwave plans to use the July 2026 funding to expand global sales of marine biodegradable products, advance its materials platform, and develop new applications. The company is working on new products, including the marine-biodegradable buoys set for commercial release in the second half of 2026. Dasiwave is targeting specific international markets, particularly those affected by plastic pollution, to foster its growth and enhance its market presence.
