Origin by Ocean is taking concrete steps to achieve this goal by converting harmful algae into useful ingredients for the chemical industry, with the aim of ending marine eutrophication altogether in the long term. With its unique approach, Origin by Ocean is paving the way for a more sustainable future in the chemical industry worth $4.7 trillion.
