<h3>About the project CIRCALGAE</h3> This Horizon Europe project CIRCALGAE has a goal to develop sustainable algae-based biorefineries and products supporting the health of aquatic ecosystems for a healthy planet and people.It aims to valorize the massively produced, but at the same time under-exploited algal biomass into high value-added ingredients for the feed, food and cosmetic applications.<a href="https://www.circalgae.eu/" title="https://www.circalgae.eu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Know more</a>

<h3>About the project FOODIMAR</h3> FOODIMAR is a three-year Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership project that aims to develop new industry-relevant solutions for valorising key side-streams from fisheries and aquaculture in climate- friendly, sustainable, high-quality, food applications.FOODIMAR pushes the boundaries of current practices through recovering nutrients, reducing environmental impact (climate-friendly extraction processes), species diversification (jellyfish, whitefish, sea bream), and adding value to fish side-streams (production, processing), thereby making existing food systems more diverse, profitable and resource efficient.<a href="https://foodimar.eu/" title="https://foodimar.eu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Know more</a>

<h3>About the project IMPRESS</h3> IMPRESS is a four-year Horizon Europe Innovation Action that aims to unlock the potential of low-trophic aquatic biomass and processing side-streams to create sustainable, high-value products for food, feed, and packaging applications.By valorising underutilised marine and freshwater species, IMPRESS supports specie diversification, promotes circular bioeconomy pathways, and reduces waste across aquaculture and fisheries value chains. The project integrates green biorefining technologies, market-aligned product development, and consumer-driven design to advance environmentally responsible, profitable, and zero-waste aquatic food systems in line with the EU Green Deal.<a href="https://impress-he.eu/2023/08/03/impress-an-eu-project-building-zero-waste-sustainable-aquatic-food-value-chains/" title="https://impress-he.eu/2023/08/03/impress-an-eu-project-building-zero-waste-sustainable-aquatic-food-value-chains/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Know more</a>
