A clean and sustainable way to get calcium from seafood waste.
Clams that are caught and processed are thrown away as trash. The lack of knowledge about their chemical potential and the organic tissue that needs to be cleaned off has been the main problem with processing. There aren’t many sources of calcium that can be used over a long period of time, and most of them come at a cost, like putting people in danger in extraction zones or mines, or taking calcium from fragile sea beds. Bluecal wants to use the waste from clam fishing to help rural fishing areas and give people who need calcium in their food a cheap, organic, and sustainable option. Bluecal gives end users the option to buy sustainable calcium products at the same price as other traditional goods on the market. These products are also better for the environment because they don’t send waste to landfills and use less energy during production.
