Eranova : From algae to the final product

1. Enrichment

After harvesting the algae, starch enrichment is carried out using a patented process in large ponds producing 20 times more biomass than current land-based plant crops.

2. Extraction

Extraction of starch is processed by a patented enzymatic cracking technic producing 13 times more starch than current terrestrial production of corn starch for example

3. Transformation

Material is processed into biodegradable or durable bioplastic formulation improving by 15% the mechanical properties of current bioplastics.

Our technology uses green macro algae stranded on beaches, a pollutant, as a resource for the production of biobased, recyclable, compostable resins. This is called Upcycling.
