Related Barriers:

  • Guidelines and specifications for different types of materials and equipment are lacking. A difference should be made between consumables; i.e. single or short use materials and durables; i.e. long use materials.

  • A proactive approach of individual producers to change the design of their products or prevent the use of specific plastics is mostly lacking.

  • Designers and manufacturers of aquaculture equipment are not sufficiently aware and motivated to seek alternative materials that would make their products more resistant and less polluting.
