Adding value to what is normally a by-product through the extraction of bioactive compounds from naturally produced spiny lobster shells will provide significant commercial benefits to our company in the years to come. At LAGOSTA we recycle waste into wealth!
BLUE BIOTECHNOLOGY : SHELL BIOREFINERY
Everyone knows that spiny lobsters make a delicious dinner, but few know much about the interesting lives of these creatures : As it grows, a spiny lobster molts and loses its hard protective exoskeleton. After molting, the lobster is soft-bodied and very vulnerable to predators for about two days until its new, larger exoskeleton forms over its growing body.
Retrieving the naturally generated molts enables LAGOSTA to make the best out of this waste without harming the animal at any time!
