🌿 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱! 🌟 Microalgae are microorganisms found in marine, freshwater, and soil ecosystems. They are versatile, both heterotrophic and autotrophic, and play a crucial role in producing organic substances from carbon substrates🌱💧 In aquafeeds, microalgae offer numerous benefits, including enhancing the nutritional profile, providing essential fatty acids, and reducing the reliance on fishmeal and fish oil. 🐟🌿 #Microalgaes #RawIngredients #MarineIngredients #Circular #CircularIngredients #Restorative #RestorativeIngredients

BioMar UK have recently launched paid volunteering time for all employees. This is in an effort to make a positive difference to the local community, doing things like supporting schools & clubs, maintaining public spaces & raising money for charities. As we are based in Grangemouth, we would like to support our local area. If there is anything we can get involved in, please let us know by emailing holmc@biomar.com. Additionally, as part of our corporate social responsibility, we have a safe space if anyone would like to give feedback on BioMar UK, which can be done using our new community button here: https://lnkd.in/dEMJu9Fk

🐟 𝗨𝗽𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱! 🌟 Ever heard of upcycling? ♻️ It's a creative form of recycling where materials are transformed into products of equal or greater value. 🌍✨ By reimagining and repurposing resources, upcycling helps us turn waste into a new valuable product🌱💚 #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #ZeroWaste #Sustainable #Enviroment #ClimateChange #Eco #Innovation #Upcycling #Byproducts

One of the most common (and unfortunately extremely inaccurate) claims opponents of aquaculture make is that “it takes 10kg of fish to grow 1kg of salmon (or whatever species)”. BioMar led significant rebukes to a recent documentary (I refuse to name it) that perpetuated these outrageous claims.. (read more about that here: https://lnkd.in/gvctHnS8) .. and are again showing the amazing work that can be done to make #aquaculture a highly #sustainable source of #protein. There’s so much misinformation out there on what is basic knowledge in the industry, it’s great to see companies making a difference and sharing their stories!
