Aquamin: A-grade sustainability

In our changing world, consumers care more about protecting natural resources. Sustainability is now a key concern that influences corporate strategy and brand identity. And no manufacturer can be credibly sustainable without suppliers that support their goals.

Aquamin is a truly sustainable, multi-mineral marine ingredient. It is derived from a naturally-occurring species of red seaweed. Marigot holds an exclusive long term license to harvest this unique seaweed from deposits off the northwest coast of Iceland. A careful approach to harvesting ensures complete sustainability, safety, reliability and traceability:

Close control

• Marigot harvests only mature, calcified seaweed, leaving ‘live’, young seaweed untouched
• Harvests of this sustainable mineral ingredient are carefully planned, controlled and monitored
• Carefully coordinated schedules ensure timely harvesting to protect the natural ecosystem
• Modern, efficient and environmentally-responsible harvesting technology has minimal impact on flora and fauna, while helping ripen regeneration conditions

Completely certified

• Dedicated team and fully traceable safety systems assure absolute product safety
• All production facilities and harvesting operations are audited by FEMAS (Feed Materials Assurance Scheme) and recognized by the Icelandic Certification Agency (TUN)
• Marigot’s activities are fully compliant with the license terms and conditions of regular Independent Environmental Impact Assessment Studies (EIA) monitoring
