Marine Resources: A Blue Future in the CPG Industry

The marine derivatives industry is a burgeoning sector offering a sustainable solution to the consumer packaged goods industry. Derived from ocean resources like seaweed, algae, and fish, these natural compounds possess unique chemical properties, such as polysaccharides, proteins, and enzymes, that are not found in terrestrial products. Examples include alginate, collagen, and chitosan, valued for their anti-aging and antibacterial properties. While challenges like high costs and complex extraction processes persist, advancements in marine farming and extraction technologies are paving the way for a more sustainable future.
