954 000 tons of fish byproducts is produced annually by Norwegian processing plants alone. As a resource it is plentiful and its ongoing. This diploma project is an exploration of the potential within the marine waste streams.
As a result of material exploration, the design proposal suggest how fish byproducts can be used as an alternative to plastic. To highlight the potential of the material, I have decided to take a wide approach and illustrate several uses. By taking this approach, I aim to inspire the industry to think in multiple directions and envision potential uses beyond the applications that we see today. Additionally, I hope to inspire a shift in the perceived value of fish byproducts; from waste to resource.
As a result of research, field work and interviews, I have increasingly become aware of the magnitude of the Norwegian fishing industry. Everyone involved plays a fundamental role and shed light on different actions, leading up to the same goal. In cooperation with representatives from the different fields, I have developed a roadmap to identify necessary steps and the actors needed to cooperate in order to achieve this goal. The roadmap aims to create a holistic point of view, that reflect all parts of the industry.
The ambition for this diploma project is to stimulate the development of wholesome raw material utilization, as well as contribute to the vision of a circular economy.
