System for collecting and recycling discarded equipment from fishing and fish farming industry
Description
This eco-innovative solution is the output from the project titled “EUFIR” co-funded by the European Commission within the framework of the Competitive and Innovation Program. The eco-innovative solution consists of an European system for collecting and recycling discarded equipment from the fishing and fish farming industry. Discarded equipment and other plastic waste from the fishing industry will be dismantled and the different elements will be recycled. The technology owner collects both at fixed sites, waste facilities, fish net producers and fishing vessels, providing all participants the possibility to use the Nofir take back scheme, regardless of quantities and location. The materials will be transported to dismantling factories in Lithuania or Turkey and plastic waste will be transformed into a new product.
