Description

Please read the ToR document for full information.

The objectives of this report are:
- To assess the quantity and location of seafood waste produced in the UK from operations including the wild-capture, aquaculture, and processing sectors.
- To assess the current circularity of the seafood waste produced in the UK, in terms of utilisation and its end destination e.g., land-based animal feed, aquafeed, fertiliser, pet food etc.
- To identify the value of seafood waste, in terms of nutritional (e.g., in terms of omega-3 content, CaCO3 content in bivalve shells etc), environmental (e.g., carbon emission savings in feed), social (e.g., traceability).
- To assess the availability (supply) and demand of seafood waste in the UK. Where possible assess the geographic distribution of supply and demand and where existing circular systems exist.
- To determine what the current blockers are to increasing by-product utilisation.
- To develop recommendations on how key stakeholders (e.g., UK governments, policy markets, companies, and traders) can increase circularity within the UK seafood sector, whilst decreasing the environmental and social footprint of UK caught and produced seafood.
