30 Nov 2022 --- Interest in a microalgae-driven circular economy is increasing. Due to its high nutrient nature and production process with ease of the planet’s resources, industry players spotlight microalgae for its potential benefits for people and the planet. This could be especially timely in light of increasing global micronutrient deficiencies and climate change. “Microalgae is probably the most sustainable crop that can be cultivated today. The algae consume almost 2 kg of CO2 for every kg of biomass produced. In its production process, hardly any waste or pollution is created, tapping into one of the most important principles of a circular economy,” David Erlandsson, co-founder of Denmark-based Aliga Microalgae, tells NutritionInsight.
