The Antigua and Barbuda Department of Analytical Services shipped 202lbs of the invasive sargassum seaweed to Finland.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the receiving end will be Origin by Ocean a Finnish company being incubated within the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) Global Innovation Centre (GIC) in Sweden.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Today\u2019s shipment is the first phase of a project being developed by Origin by Ocean to design a new biorefinery process (Nauvu\u00ae) for the extraction of biomolecules for use in food, cosmetics, and domestic detergent, all from marine biomass.<\/p>

Sea weed shipment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This first shipment of seaweed will be used by the company to do initial reference trials of the Nauvu\u00ae process against the benchmark feedstock of Bladderwrack seaweed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The collaboration between Origin by Ocean and the Department of Analytical Services is made possible because of the synergies currently being established between the UNOPS GICs across Antigua, Sweden and Japan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In Antigua, the GIC is a collaboration between UNOPS and the Antigua and Barbuda Science Innovation Park (ABSIP).<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A second, larger batch of sargassum is expected to be shipped in the coming weeks and will be used for the initial process trials with sargassum seaweed.<\/p>
