European supplier of cultivated Ulva macroalgae

Ecoalga cultivates Ulva ohnoi in the Río Piedras marshes in Cartaya (Huelva, Spain) and processes it into raw material, custom extracts and agricultural biostimulants. We supply distributors, formulators and industry across the European Union, with batch-level traceability and formats from 5 litres to tanker loads.

Cultivated in Europe — not wild-harvested, not imported

There are two usual ways to source Ulva biomass: harvest it from the wild, or import it dried from Asia. We do a third: we grow it, in a protected natural area on Spain's Atlantic coast.

What that changes for a buyer:

  • A known, verifiable origin. A specific location, not “the Atlantic”.
  • Plannable supply. Harvest is scheduled, not opportunistic.
  • Batch-level traceability back to the pond.
  • Short logistics inside the European Union.
