Seaweed Products - Orkney Seaweed Company_index
Description
The Company has been launched to market the unique range of seaweed products that result from over 30 years of research and development on crop and seaweed growth, led by Professor Cliff Johnston, one of five directors of the new Company.
His first studies on seaweeds and plant growth started in the 1960s, stimulated by gardening as well as scientific interests. In the 1980s, several studies were undertaken relating to the potential uses of seaweeds from Orkney. This led, in the 1990s, to the development of quality controlled seaweed harvesting and processing techniques in Orkney, linked to a wide range of international trials involving both conventional and organic growers. More recently, and particularly exciting, has been the high performance of the trial products in two additional markets - sports turf and glasshouse crops. From experience gained in these many years of investigation, the present unique and enhanced product has evolved.
The Head Office and production facilities are based on the northern Orkney Isle of Westray, using freshly harvested weed from the waters around the island.The carefully selected seaweed is processed without the use of chemicals.
