MiAlgae has launched its omega-3 product NaturAlgae to market, following a recent expansion of its commercial production site at Balfron, near Stirling.
The biotech business recycles the co-products from the Scotch whisky industry, like pot ale, as a feedstock to grow omega-3 rich microalgae, which can then be used as part of fish and pet food.
The company’s unique manufacturing process aims to reduce global reliance on billions of wild-caught fish, the traditional source of omega-3.
