Advanced materials from algae
Our algae materials replace harmful and less efficient chemicals in high-end oceanic beauty care products and can also improve performance and efficiency in other applications.
Research and development for a better future
Swedish Algae Factory is the only company in the world that cultivate diatoms and extracts its unique high-tech silica shells for use in different applications. We call this shell material Algica®. We are continuously optimizing performance in targeted applications, while deepening our understanding of Algica®’s unique properties. New insights continue to unlock novel and exciting opportunities across a range of fields.
In harmony with nature, in real-time
We strive towards cultivating our algae based on a 100 % circular mindset where carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and phosphorus emissions can be converted into valuable products. In the production of 1 kg of Algica® at least 8 kg of CO2, 1 kg of nitrogen and 0,1 kg of phosphorous can be trapped.
Where is Algica® produced?
Algica® is produced in our modern high-tech production facility in Kungshamn on the Swedish west coast. The algae are cultivated, harvested and extracted in the facility designed to enable a sustainable and circular production.
Life Sunalgae
Swedish Algae Factory have received the highly selective EU LIFE grant. The project LIFE SUNALGAE is the first of its kind to extract and utilize diatom shells at large scale for solar panel efficiency enhancing applications.
