Repurposing of Equipment

Natural resources are under increasing pressure. For the climate, nature, and environment, it is crucial to use resources far more efficiently, reducing the need for extracting new materials. As an equipment supplier, we actively work to find solutions that allow safe and efficient repurposing of equipment, while maintaining quality, safety, and functionality. Our goal is to develop solutions that keep materials in circulation for as long as possible, in line with circular economy principles. This not only involves repurposing, but also the development of effective solutions for maintenance, repair, and eventually recycling when the equipment is no longer usable.

Exploring Repurposing Opportunities

In our focus on repurposing, we are exploring several types of equipment, including ropes. The Norwegian aquaculture industry uses large quantities of ropes annually, certified according to NS9415. When the certification period expires, the standard practice has often been to send the ropes directly for recycling. Repurposing ropes before recycling can further reduce environmental impact. Through the Gjenta(u) project, we have explored the possibility of repurposing ropes for farming species other than fish, and we are working on implementing the findings from the project.

Environmental Documentation

To ensure that our initiatives have a real and positive environmental impact, we document the environmental footprint of repurposed products. This includes conducting life cycle assessments (LCA) and preparing environmental product declarations (EPD) for selected products. By having reliable data on the environmental profile of our solutions, we can make informed decisions and contribute to a more sustainable aquaculture industry. More information on how we work with this can be found on our Sustainability page.
