The main goal of the platform will be to serve as a hub for research, knowledge, methodology and stakeholder networks for development of economically and environmentally sustainable biorefinery processes.

We have the expertise and equipment needed to develop and formulate ingredients based on biological materials, and to adapt such material for use in foods, feed and technical areas.

Norway’s Prime Minister Erna Solberg recently referred to salmon as “Norway’s IKEA”, because people buy and eat Norwegian salmon all over the world. In the same way as IKEA needs materials to build furniture, salmon need a feed on which they can grow. The feeds that are currently in use consist principally of raw materials from plants. A revolution in feed has been under way for the past 15 years. And it’s far from over.

In our flexible mini-factory high technology companies can test and optimize their processes to extract all desired components from marine- and plant-based biomass.

An innovation from Polybait may revolutionise angling, not only in Norway but also abroad. It could mean the end of traditional bait.
