October 2020 \u2013 Cargill, in collaboration with Gaia BioMaterials UK, is introducing fully compostable fish feed packaging in the North Sea region as part of its Scotland business pioneering work on compostable packaging.<\/p><p>The sustainable feed bags, which will be available as small 25 kilos packaging, are made from food grade materials and unlike alternative sustainable options, the bags break down into the environment completely, leaving no plastic materials or harmful residue behind. The small bags are great addition to Cargill\u2019s existing portfolio which includes large feed bags made of 100% recyclable material.<\/p><p>\u201cSalmon farmers are increasingly looking for ways to reduce the impact on the environment, and one way to do that it to reduce our use of plastic,\u201d said Rosie Dreghorn, Technology Application Manager for Cargill Aqua Nutrition in Scotland. \u201cWe invest in pioneering sustainable solutions like compostable packaging because it is the right thing to do for our customers, for our business and for the kind of environment we want to leave for future generations.\u201d<\/p><p>The new compostable bags have been created and trialled at Cargill\u2019s Westfield plant in Scotland and is the result of two years of development. This summer first batch of feed was delivered to a customer. The bags performed well during transportation and on the farm, and feedback so far has been positive.<\/p><p>\u201cWe are proud of this achievement however, we acknowledge there is still work to be done. We are at the early stages of this development, but we want to keep developing this project as our vision is to get rid of plastic packaging altogether. Any progress we make here is good for the fish, for the farmers, for the environment and, ultimately, for the consumer,\u201d stated Dreghorn.<\/p><p>Cargill\u2019s compostable packaging initiative was recognised with two nominations at Aquaculture UK Awards Ceremony on September 16th \u2013 the Environmental Impact Award and the Innovation Award.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"jss53\"><div class=\"jss54\">Share<\/div><div class=\"jss52\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cargill becomes first salmon feed producer to introduce this initiative in the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2138,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[128],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sustainability"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
