About Eranova and it's values

The biomasses currently used occupy arable land, relocate agricultural land, and require significant energy resources for their processing (Corn, Potato, Sugar cane).
Eranova has been certified with the ADEME 2017 "Programme d'Investissement d'Avenir" (Future Investment Program) seal and is supported by TOTAL TDR, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, and BPI - Banque Publique d'Investissements (Public Investment Bank). The "Programme d'Investissement d'Avenir" is a significant French government initiative aimed at fostering innovation and economic growth. BPI, or Bpifrance, is a public investment bank that plays a crucial role in supporting and financing businesses in France.
Eranova's target market for its range of biobased polymers, called AlgX, is the film industry for packaging, as well as the market for flexible and rigid plastic packaging in all its transformation forms. The focus is on various end-of-life options: biodegradability, compostability, reuse, and recycling.

Our values

Property value

No Occupation of Agricultural Land
Algae production does not require arable land, allowing cultivation in aquatic environments or unused areas.
Reduced Footprint
- Productive Efficiency: Algae starch production per hectare is 14 times higher than that of corn, with lower water and fertilizer usage.
- Environmental Benefits: Reduction of CO₂ emissions, improvement of water quality (removal of nitrates/phosphorus), and avoidance of pesticides.

Environmental value

Green Algae Bioplastics: Transforming pollutants into value-added products

Green algae, often considered pollutants on beaches and in waters, find new life as raw material for sustainable bioplastics. This innovative process converts environmental waste into products of high economic and environmental value, contributing to the circular economy and the preservation of ecosystems.

Local and global territorial value

Upcycling Green Algae: From Problem to Opportunity!
A burden for communities, an opportunity for the environment: green algae blooms can be transformed into a valuable resource.
