Responsibility Measures
Producer responisbility
Individual responsibility: add serial number on materials (e.g. on mussel cones).
It is possible that gear producers will switch to using other materials or to improve the gear design when they are
responsible for the creation and maintenance of the EPR system
Producer Responsibility – gear producers should offer recycling or returning facility for farmers.
A deposit system can work very effectively for larger items, whereas small items that are lost very frequently (because
these are light, cheap and their retrieval is considered to be a waste of time) should be replaced by alternatives and,
in case this is not possible, their use should be closely linked to awareness-raising and training of the e.g. staff
responsible for installation.
