Summary:
BioMarine 2016 will focus on demonstrating the utility and feasibility of achieving a ‘full circle’ of the blue industry value chain. Extracting the ingredients and marine compounds produced during each stage of the value chain can help to produce new nutraceuticals, cosmetic products, or even cancer treatment drugs. Aquaculture is already ahead of the curve on this and has successfully managed to transform the by-products of their activities into blue gold. Seaweed and algae will be the next revolutionary ingredients from which we will extract the starch that will be used to produce bioplastics.
