Falkirk Distillery takes strides to a greener future in circular economy deal
A family-owned whisky distillery in the central belt of Scotland, Falkirk Distillery, has joined forces with innovative biotechnology company, MiAlgae, to drive forward a greener and more efficient whisky industry.
The deal signifies a milestone in achieving Falkirk’s aim of further reducing its carbon and water footprint with cutting-edge technology implementation.
Founded over a decade ago, the independent Falkirk Distillery produces approximately 200,000 litres of spirit per year.
The new agreement will see Falkirk’s whisky by-products processed at MiAlgae’s commercial demonstrator facility in Balfron, Stirlingshire. Applying MiAlgae’s technology as a circular solution, the by-products will be used as feedstock to grow omega-3 rich microalgae as a nutritious animal feed ingredient - something which is currently produced by extracting oil from billions of wild caught fish.
The partnership between Falkirk Distillery and MiAlgae is now underway.
