Í síðustu viku fengum við frábæra heimsókn frá nemendum í Fjölbrautaskóli Suðurnesja til Algalif! ✨

Þau fengu að skoða hvernig við framleiðum náttúrulegt astaxanthin – allt frá ræktun þörunganna til hátæknilegra lausna í framleiðsluferlinu.

Alltaf gaman að taka á móti ungu kynslóðinni og sýna þeim hvernig nýsköpun, vísindi og sjálfbærni skapa grunninn að betri og sjálfbærari framtíð.🌱
