Removal and recycling

Related Barriers:

  • There is a lack of waste management infrastructure with, e.g. insufficient opportunities to collect, sort and reuse waste in ports or other defined collection sites.

  • There is a lack of cooperation between different sectors like aquaculture, fisheries and agriculture to collect a needed amount of gear to assure recycling. Recycling will only be taken up on a larger scale if it is economically beneficial.
