Program for Biomaterial Innovation

The GRØDE program is an incubator concept designed to accelerate innovation in biodegradable materials.

Precious Kelp

Lerøy Ocean Forest vision is to achieve more efficient recycling of the unexploited resources in the environments surrounding our fish farms, absorb CO2 and create biomass from species lower down the food chain, thereby reducing the environmental footprint of aquaculture.

Sustainable Tourism

DREIS is a project focused on exploring the role of intangible cultural heritage, such as traditional crafts and ancient knowledge of natural materials, in enhancing sustainable product production and bolstering culture-based tourism in Kvam.

Mycelium Lab

At Bioregion Institute, we believe that (alive) mycelium-based building materials are a promising alternative to traditional building materials. They are eco-friendly, lightweight, durable, self-healing and have excellent insulation properties.

Protecting agricultural soils from plastic pollution

PROLAND focuses on value creation in agricultural and industrial practices by addressing and investigating the sources of plastic pollution in agricultural soils in Norway.

BioDeepMap

Bio Deep Map is an original exploratory method tool that focuses on the potential of bioresources in material-based art and is developed in a collaborative program with artistic research-based activities.

Kaihagen Urban Garden

With Kaihagen, we want to show the variety of edible plants that can grow in our climate. We want to inspire people to grow their own food, which reduces one's carbon footprint.

Forum Landbruksplast: How to Prevent Plastic Pollution in Agriculture

The project focus on establishing thematic working groups that will work with knowledge sharing, measures and sub-projects that remove and prevent the plastic to come out in nature and measures its replacement.

SHIFT PLASTICS: Handling Plastics in Aquaculture

Shift Plastic primary objective is to create sustainable circular value chains for handling plastics in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.

Slam Dunk

The project SLAM-DUNK aims to develop a sustainable value chain for the conversion of fish sludge into valuable products. As such, the project not only worked on solutions for the sludge problem, but actually turned the aquaculture sludge into value.

Circular Bergen

In 2020-21 Bioregion Institute co-authored the very first circular report for the city of Bergen in Norway, together with the Bergen office of PwC and Bergen municipality.

Bioregion Vestland

How can we make the best possible use of the resources in Western Norway and use these to create circular value chains that are both sustainable and profitable – which can also create solutions that replace our plastic consumption?
