The global algae products market is estimated at USD 3.98 Billion in 2018 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4%, to reach USD 5.17 Billion by 2023. The direct consumption of algae as a food product makes it a reliable food alternative with high nutritional value, which is a necessity for the growing population. This factor can also be considered as a driver for this industry.

Designers are looking at ways to counter the impact of the environmental crisis, ecoLogicStudio have developed BioBombola, a zero-waste food source, created by cultivating an algae garden at home. Algae absorbs carbon dioxide and oxygenates the environment more effectively than house plants, while also providing a nutrient-rich vegetable protein that can be harvested and consumed.

Waste Age: What can design do?
(October 2021 – February 2022)
We all know waste is a big problem. So how are we going to fix it?
A new generation of designers is rethinking our relationship to everyday things. From fashion to food, electronics to construction, even packaging - finding the lost value in our trash and imagining a future of clean materials and a circular economy could point the way out of the Waste Age.
Explore major new exhibits that capture the devastating impact of waste including a large-scale art installation by Ibrahim Mahama made from e-waste in Ghana.
The exhibition showcases some of the visionary designers who are reinventing our relationship with waste, including Formafantasma, Stella McCartney, The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Lacaton & Vassal, Fernando Laposse, Bethany Williams, Phoebe English and Natsai Audrey Chieza.
'We must face the problem of waste – we can no longer ignore what happens to things when we get rid of them. Instead of thinking of objects as things that have an end life, they can have many lives. This is not just an exhibition it is a campaign, and we all have an active part in our future.' Gemma Curtin, Curator.

This is a mini-hot spring with algae growing around. I thought it lookes a little bit like a knot in a plank of wood.
27 Aug 2007. Helsinki, Finland. Greenpeace activists confront delegates of the ongoing Helsinki Commission meeting with algae and dead cod. 25 % of the Baltic Sea bottom area is already dead due to eutrophication and the cod stocks are threatened by overfishing. Greenpeace demands rapid action to combat the ocean crisis. The algae was collected in Helsinki the day before.
