Plastic we accept

  • Breeding cages
  • Feed hoses
  • Ropes and other fiber plastics

How to prepare the plastic

  • Remove metal and foreign materials where possible 
  • Collect plastic by type (cage, pipe and rope separately) 
  • Place the equipment in a suitable location on land. Cages and feeding hoses are collected directly from the sea and prepared by agreement.
  • Avoid unnecessary pollution
