After extraction of important chemical compounds from the seaweed, the chemical companies are left with 50-70% remains or residual side-streams, that are largely unexploited. These residuals are discarded, or at best, sold as low-cost, low nitrogen fertilizers<\/em>\u201d explains Nadav Bar, professor and researcher at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntnu.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Norwegian University of Science and Technology<\/a> and iCULTURE project coordinator.
