Webinar: Business Opportunities from Waste Fishing Gear

March 15, 2022 @ 3:00 pm 4:00 pm Online

The Centre for Sustainable Design ®, UCA Business School within the Blue Circular Economy project present the findings of a new report on local innovation systems related to waste and “end of life” fishing gear.

There is a growing recognition of the problems associated with waste and “end of life” fishing gear worldwide. In 2019, the European Union (EU) passed the Single-Use Plastics Directive that included ‘Extended Producer Responsibility’ (EPR) legislation related to fishing gear that is due to be implemented in December 2024. The develop­ment of new infrastructure for EPR for fishing gear will require new circular economy infrastructure and solutions in coastal areas throughout Europe and this will present both challenges and opportunities.
