Veramaris is the first microalgae oil producer to be certified under the joint Aquaculture Stewardship Council and Marine Stewardship Council (ASC-MSC) seaweed standard.
The certification confirms that Veramaris's operation minimizes the impacts on the environment, with good labor conditions and positive impacts for the community.
The company has invested over $200 million (€177.4 million) in its processing plant in Blair, Nebraska, which makes omega-3 oil from marine algae using regular sugar as the source of energy.
