Good Practice award

MiAlgae has received a Good Practice award from the 2021 VIBES – Scottish Environment Business Awards.

Thanks to VIBES and the judges from their partner organisations for recognising our work towards net zero carbon emissions.

MiAlgae is passionate about the environment and committed to contributing to the green recovery.  We strive to minimise the impact of the growing population on climate change, whilst also trying to meet the needs of that population.

At the heart of MiAlgae is an innovative circular economy model. The company’s innovative bioprocessing technology offers a cheaper and greener alternative service to Scottish distilleries for disposal of whisky coproducts, by recycling to clean water and upcycling to a value-added microalgal omega-3 product targeted at the animal nutrition sector. Remaining waste from the production process is converted to green energy by anaerobic digestion and the full bioprocess runs off bioenergy. The company’s microalgal products are aimed to strongly contribute to the sustainability of the animal nutrition sector and are more financially accessible than existing products, facilitating economic growth of the pet food and aquaculture industries in Scotland.
