Support for waste management Support for waste management

Relevant type of aquaculture:

Fish Shellfish Seaweed

Relevant sea basin:

North

Relevant stage:

Removal and recycling

Related Barriers:

  • Recycling companies are located too far from the farm to collect, sort and recycle worn out gear and other waste, which is too costly to integrate into the lifecycle of a farm. This barrier leads to dumping the waste in the garbage without sorting it.

  • Some waste collection centres do not accept to take in the non-organic waste from shellfish producers. A common waste collection policy should be elaborated and enforced.

  • The difficulty of separating different types of materials for recycling purposes.

  • There is a lack of appropriate waste management infrastructures to handle worn out aquaculture and fishing equipment.

  • There is a lack of efficient systems and facilities for collecting, storing and processing of used gear and equipment.
