LOCALITY will develop new solutions to use nutrient-rich industrial waters and Baltic and North Seas water to cultivate algae using infrastructures available locally and transform them into innovative products (aquafeed supplements, biostimulants/fertilizers, meat alternatives, textile additives).

The main objective of LOCALITY is to develop circular and sustainable value chains, linking key industrial players to stimulate co-creation and bring new and innovative algae-based products to regional and global markets, while protecting and restoring Europe’s aquatic ecosystems.

LOCALITY will set the basis for the market to uptake innovative, socially responsible, and sustainable food, aquafeed ingredients, agriculture, and textile products formulated using algal biomasses and/or ingredients from side streams and the Baltic and North Seas, demonstrate their social and economic benefits, define commercialization strategies and ensure consumer and market acceptance. The consortium will disseminate the project results, developed technologies, and products to relevant stakeholders, thus fostering the replication of such circular ecosystems.
