Our key source

Lemna Sample (3).png

Lemna is a tiny but remarkable aquatic plant that has the unique ability to clean water as it grows, simultaneously producing valuable compounds, that we then extract to create functional ingredients.

We are rethinking how food is produced

Clean Label Products

We clean water while developing better ingredients and creating circular solutions to improve our food systems. We stop pollution at the source, upcycling nutrients into ingredients that improve people’s health.

Avoids contaminating 165 m3 of water

Equivalent to over 1,000 bathtubs

Removes 21 kg of CO2eq

Equivalent to 90 km driven by an average gasoline-powered passanger vehicle

1 hectare of our Lemna growth system removes 58kg of Nitrogen daily, equivalent to 250 kg of CO2eq

That equates to about 90,000 kg of CO2eq each year per hectare of lemna we cultivate.

SDG 14:

Prevent dangerous nutrient levels in the ocean and stop marine pollution.

We're pioneering a new era of sustainable food systems by harnessing the cleansing power of Lemna. We have developed a fully circular value chain that includes everything from cleaning water by upcycling Lemna to producing innovative ingredients that improve people’s health. This ensures that our business model fully aligns with the social and environmental outcomes we aim to achieve.
