The utilization of fish by-products and discards is very important for the Blue Economy as a whole, as they can generate high value-added products and at the same time have multiple and significant environmental benefits. According to the
European Union legislation, it is appropriate for the
collection and disposal system to take into account
the actual quantity of animal by-products collected
in the Member State concerned, so VIOAXIOPIO
is moving in that direction in order to create a
National Plan for the exploitation of fish by-products
and discards in the context of the circular economy.
