22 Mar: AAK, Checkerspot partner to develop sustainable algae oil

As consumers and global brands continue to push for new plant-based options, developments for new fats and oils need to meet three criteria: they can be produced at scale, provide unique consumer experience, and are less vulnerable to climate change, Checkerspot highlights in an announcement.
