Abstract: 

Norwegian research scientists from the SINTEF are convinced that kelp may share many of the applications of soy and oil in the fish farming industry. “We can break seaweed down into their basic constituents and recombine them to make useful products,” said researcher Silje Forbord at SINTEF. “We can use seaweed to make clothes, furniture materials, food packaging, drinking straws and biodegradable bottles,” Forbord said.

The team has been active in the forefront of a research project called MACROSEA, which is providing new insights into the potential of seaweed farming in Norway. The project has also succeeded in developing innovative solutions that will assist in industrializing the Norwegian seaweed sector.
