Farmer/user responsibility Farmer/user responsibility

Relevant type of aquaculture:

Fish Shellfish Seaweed

Relevant sea basin:

Baltic

Relevant stage:

Removal and recycling

Related Barriers:

  • Market incentives for the effective participation in separate collection or for the return of special types of aquaculture gear (like cages) in the form of deposit return schemes are lacking.

  • Despite the potential value of some of the fishing gear, recycling is very limited and left to a few innovative operators. There is currently no structured approach to setting up specific mechanisms or tackling the costs of dealing with aquaculture gear containing plastic once landed in port.

  • Lacking market incentives are directly linked with poor waste management which is also related to complex gear products or mixed-pastic formats not designed for recyclabilitiy.
