Our Products - Biome Algae

Our Sustainably Farmed British Seaweed

We grow our seaweed in clean, nutrient-rich waters off the Southwest coast of the UK. Using responsible farming practices, we produce high-quality seaweed suitable for a range of uses. We focus on farming local varieties of seaweed, available both fresh and dried, supporting use in areas like food production, agriculture, and environmentally friendly materials.

High-Value Seaweed Extracts

We use research and development to create valuable extracts from our seaweed, contributing to our zero-waste goals. These extracts are suitable for a variety of industries and are supported by technical documentation. We work to ensure consistent quality and traceability across all our extract products.

Innovative Seaweed Processing Facilities

Our facilities are designed to protect the quality of our seaweed throughout each stage of processing. By maintaining high standards and focusing on preserving natural qualities, we ensure our products are fit for use across a wide range of sectors including food, agriculture, and sustainable materials.

Biomass

We offer processed seaweed materials suitable for use in product development across multiple industries. Our seaweed-derived ingredients are commonly used for their natural binding, gelling, and stabilising properties, supporting applications in food, cosmetics, and sustainable manufacturing.

Crude Alginate

Crude alginate is valued for its natural gelling, thickening, and stabilising properties. Commonly used to enhance the texture and viscosity of food products, cosmetics, and personal care formulations, it serves as a versatile ingredient for manufacturers seeking plant-based functionality.

Calcium Alginate

Derived from alginic acid, calcium alginate is widely used in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. It is particularly known for its application in wound dressings due to its ability to form gels on contact with moisture. It also plays a role in controlled-release pharmaceutical formulations and is explored in various biotechnology processes.

Sodium Alginate

Sodium alginate, extracted from alginic acid, is used across a variety of industrial applications. In papermaking, it improves strength and surface quality. It is also used in environmental processes to help remove heavy metals and other contaminants from water, making it a valuable component in eco-conscious water treatment solutions.
