Waste management

Biological waste

Organic waste is a valuable resource that have many uses after its collected.

Fish trimmings from harvesting and dead fish from farms are disposed separately in all regions, and turned into fish silage. Depending on quality, it is re-used as animal feed, biofuel or fertilizers.

Organic waste from all our fresh water facilities are collected utilized as biofuel, fertilizer or organic composting.

Organic waste from fish in the sea farms are a part of the natural ecosystem. However, we must ensure that the waste does not impact the seabed negatively or cause eutrophication. Read about how we mitigate that here.

Farming equipment

In previous decades, our industry is guilty of not cleaning up farming equipment sufficiently. That is not how we operate today. Old farming equipment is safely removed if operations cease. Read more about how we work to increase recycling here.​
