At Algaeneration, we believe the usage of algal micro-beads will reduce plastic waste in our bodies of water, thus helping our environment.
THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF ALGAL BIOMASS MICRO-BEADS
- 1. Brown algae is abundant and can be found in multiple bodies of water. Therefore, the cost of sourcing the algae is low, which keeps the price of the micro-beads low.
- 2. There are 1,500 to 2,000 species of brown algae alone, which helps reduce the environmental impact and cost of sourcing algae from their natural habitats.
- 3. The algal biomass is sturdy enough to act as regular micro-beads, so different companies can smoothly make the swap without drastically affecting sales. In addition, algae is cheap and abundant enough for the companies to smoothly transition into the algal microbeads without a big loss in profit.
