Environmental Initiatives by Marukome

We want to introduce our environmental initiatives at Marukome Head Office.

Aosa (sea lettuce), a popular sea lettuce in Japan, is an ingredient in miso soup. The demand for this seaweed is growing yearly. On the other hand, the harvest volume of seaweed continues to decline due to rising seawater temperatures caused by global warming.

Through land-based aquaculture technology, our project hopes to contribute to the sustainable use of Aosa and other algae to restore seaweed beds. This project is also expected to reduce CO2 emissions by creating blue carbon* ecosystems.

*Blue carbon is the term for carbon captured by the ocean and coastal ecosystems.
