Greenspire is a project dedicated to making nutritious foods affordable. A key product is spirulina, a powerful superfood packed with protein, vitamins and iron. Despite its growing popularity, spirulina remains an expensive supplement. Greenspire offers an alternative: by providing utensils from recycled biodegradable PLA and open-source manufacturing files, the startup empowers customers to grow their own nutritious food at home. The kit offers a set of tools for efficient yet creative spirulina cultivation, accompanied by a user-friendly manual with tips for including spirulina in your diet. These sustainable, solar-powered or manual utensils, which can be DIY-ed, provide consumers with lifelong access to a valuable source of nutrition with minimal resource use. The tools are compatible with everyday objects, such as old jars, repurposed as growing containers. By combining food efficiency, recycled materials, and local production, Greenspire is a step toward a circular economy.
