Why algae?
There are many reasons why we should use algae more increasingly in our lives. Here are six main reasons to why:
Fastest Growing
Natural Resource
01
Algae grows 10 times faster than land plants, and less than a tenth of the land is needed to produce the same amount of biomass.
Reduce Pollution
02
By farming coastal areas and discharging wastewater into the sea, algae can help protect the ocean from pollution. The growth of algae breaks down the CO2, thus counteracting acidification and creating a local habitat with a more neutral.
Provide Oxygen
03
Algae produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis. Algae produces 30 to 50 percent of Earth’s oxygen, which sustains humans and other species that live on land. That’s more than all the tropical rainforests combined.
Regenerative and versatile
04
Alga is like no other material out there. Its growing rate from seed to finished algae is unbeatable. That in combination with its versatility makes it the perfect material.
Protecting marine life
05
Alga is not only a living environment for marine life but gives also nutrients and shelter.
Protecting our coasts
06
Alga does not only provide living shelter to other marine life, but it also protects our homes. It dampens waves hitting our shores and thereby reduces coast erosions.
