Turning the tide on plastic waste in aquaculture
Proper disposal and recycling of plastic is something that must be addressed by all industries, including aquaculture, and one organisation that can help is the Responsible Plastic Management (RPM) Program, a not-for-profit social enterprise and membership organisation set up by certification and sustainability experts to tackle the plastic pollution crisis.
Ahead of a webinar on the subject organised by the Sustainable Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC), Dave Garforth, program manager for the RPM Program, outlines what the aquaculture industry is already doing and how it can go further.
