Seaweed as a Building Material and Cosmetic Ingredient: UTB Joins European SALINA Project
How can seaweed be used not just as food, but also as a raw material for construction, sports nutrition, or cosmetics? This is the question being addressed by a new European project called SALINA (Scalable Macroalgae Cultivation Systems for Innovative Applications), which the Faculty of Applied Informatics at Tomas Bata University in Zlín is joining. The project launched on June 1, 2026, will run for four years, and its lead investigator at UTB is Jiří Pecha from CEBIA-Tech, Faculty of Applied Informatics.
