SUSTAINABLE RAW MATERIALS
The sea’s many raw materials contain important nutrients such as proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Producing enough food with the smallest possible environmental footprint is one of the most important missions ever, and through good administration and refining of the natural and nutritious biomass we have available under the sea surface, much can be solved.
Residual raw material from salmon
Atlantic salmon (salmo salar) is one of the most valuable marine resources in Norwegian waters and has great economic importance for Norway. When the salmon is prepared for consumption, large amounts of residual raw material are created which were historically seen as waste. Today, offcuts and sloughs are valuable raw materials that we refine into premium omega-3 oil and protein-rich flour for the world market.

Laminaria hyperborea is a robust brown algae and CO2-consumer that grows in large quantities along the Norwegian coast. It withstands climate change well and is a natural resource with many areas of use. Among other things, it is rich in alginate, which is an important renewable and decomposable ingredient worldwide. Its high nutrient content also makes it valuable as animal feed, biofertilizer and biofuel. Alginate is an effective substitute for plastic and is an excellent thickener, gel binding agent, emulsifier and texture improver in food. The clean, cold sea in the north creates perfect conditions for the unique quality of the alginate.
