Big Akwa
Big Akwa, Swedish food-tech company, transforms aquaculture through industrial symbioses with process industry to drive efficiency, minimize waste and maximize profitability of the land based fish farming.
Website: https://www.bigakwa.com/
# Industrial symbiosis #food-tech #sustainable food production # waste refinement #sustainable aquaculture
Stage: Series A
HQ: Härnösand, Sweden
-
With a co-located fish farming system Big Akwa revolutionizes land-based aquaculture by introducing industrial symbiosis between the aquaculture and the process industry. Our industrial food-tech innovation utilizes waste streams to produce competitive and safe products.
Industrial symbiosis increases aquaculture production. Our solution introduces an efficient circular approach to the fish production based on industrial symbiosis. Low temperature waste heat from the process industry is used to warm up fish farm water, ensuring faster fish growth and lower energy usage. The waste water from the fish farm is converted into a resource for the industry too. The usage of new technology, sharing resources and infrastructure presents a novel opportunity to improve the environmental footprint of the fish farm, and with decreased capital investments reduces production costs up to 20%.
Sustainable fish can be farmed in a closed loop with no nutrients released in the nature.
