Sustainability at Phytality
Science, Sustainability, and the Future of Omega Nutrition
At Phytality, sustainability isn’t a buzzword — it’s the foundation of everything we do.
From how we grow our phytoplankton to how we protect the planet, every decision we make supports one simple goal: creating better health for people and the planet.
Our Philosophy: From Ocean Takers to Ocean Healers
Phytoplankton is one of Earth’s most vital life forms — responsible for producing over 80% of the planet’s oxygen and forming the base of the marine food chain. Yet, traditional methods of harvesting marine resources for supplements have taken a toll on our oceans.
At Phytality, we’ve chosen a different path.
Our ULTANA™ Phytoplankton is grown entirely on land, in state-of-the-art closed systems — never harvested from the ocean.
This means we’re not depleting vital marine food sources or disrupting delicate ocean ecosystems.
Every time you choose Phytality instead of fish-based Omega-3s, you’re helping reduce overfishing and support ocean regeneration.
Our mission is to shift from “ocean takers” to “ocean healers.”
How We Grow Sustainably
Our controlled, land-based facilities mimic the ocean’s natural conditions — using sunlight, pure salt water, and advanced biotechnology to grow nutrient-rich phytoplankton without harming the planet.
- 100% sustainably grown on land
- Powered by natural sunlight and pure salt water
- Fully recyclable water systems (no water waste)
- No pesticides, heavy metals, or ocean contaminants
- Zero discharge and minimal environmental footprint
Nearly all water used in production is filtered, recycled, and reused — eliminating strain on freshwater resources and keeping our process climate-smart and circular.
The Science That Makes It Possible
Sustainability runs through every stage of our process — not just in how we grow, but in how we refine and finish our products. Together with our European partners, OptimalAlgae, we combine over 15 years of green biotechnology expertise to produce some of the cleanest, most potent microalgae on Earth.
Our process is vertically integrated, meaning we control every step — from lab to finished powder:
- Pure strain cultivation in sterile laboratories
- Closed-loop photobioreactors powered by photosynthesis
- Gentle, solvent-free extraction and drying to preserve nutrients
- Clean, green manufacturing from start to finish
The result? A premium, mild-tasting phytoplankton powder — rich in essential Omega-3 EPA and over 75 nutrients — grown responsibly, without compromise.
Our Story: From Europe to Australia
Our phytoplankton journey began in Northern Europe in 2009, when our founder Mark Pages pioneered one of the first industrial-scale controlled growing facilities for marine phytoplankton.
Since then, Phytality has expanded its operations and research into Australia, continuing to lead the way in sustainable algae cultivation and nutrient innovation.
Today, every Phytality product reflects our long-term vision:
To make the purest, most effective nutrition available — while helping the planet regenerate.
