Our story
In a World grappling with critical challenges of demographics, aging, and climate change, turning a blind eye is not an option. At Plankton First, we are dedicated to integrating sustainable phytoplankton into people's daily lives. Through our holistic approach to phytoplankton, we are committed to shaping a better future.
With our sprawling 40-hectare plant, we strive to become Europe's premier producer of Nannochloropsis. Based in a Natura 2000 area, we are aiming to reach a 100-hectare plant by 2025. Our biorefinery plant will be opened on that same year giving us the opportunity to extract proteins and polyamines of high quality.
With Swiss-inspired precision and Greek-rooted passion, our team of scientists and sustainability advocates is here to empower professionals in their industries and guide consumers on their transformative journeys.
Meet NannOcea™
Nannochloropsis Oceanica is a single cell phytoplankton that is highly nutritious and safe to eat.
We produce NannOcea™, a balanced source of more than 60 essential nutrients and the highest EPA content among phytoplankton which provides holistic health and well-being benefits.
But first, what is phytoplankton?
Phytoplankton are small, photosynthetic organisms that drift in aquatic environments, such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. These organisms are of great importance for the origin of life.
Acting as the foundation of the food chain in numerous marine and freshwater ecosystems, these small, single-celled algae play a vital role. Beyond their impact on the food chain, phytoplankton also contribute significantly to global carbon cycle.
By absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releasing oxygen through photosynthesis, they shape the delicate balance of our planet's ecosystems. Scientists estimate that at least 50 percent of the oxygen in our atmosphere has been produced by phytoplankton.
Natural, renewable and sustainable
Through photosynthesis, phytoplankton provide us the oxygen we need to breathe
Every ton of phytoplankton consumes up to 1.8 tons of CO₂
They are autotrophic: they produce their own food using light, water and carbon dioxide
They are safe to eat
They can grow on non-arable land making them the most sustainable source of nutrients
Highly Nutritious
Phytoplankton are the first step in the aquatic food chain, thus the first natural food
They are the most nutrient-rich organism on the planet: high quality complete proteins, all 9 essential amino acids, rich in omega 3, 6, 7, 9
They are a high source of polysaccharides with natural antibacterial properties
They are 100% natural, allergen-free and vegan
A multitude of market opportunities
