Increasingly sustainable mussel farming

The recycling plant that gives new life to mussel farm socks is operational

16, Dec 2024

Circular economy for the sea and mussel farming, thanks to a mobile plant that reduces plastic by giving new life to the nets used for mussel farming. It is mounted on a container, so it is available to mussel farmers who can use it near their farms to recycle up to 300 kg of plastic per day. It was designed and tested in Apulia and is currently in operation in Chioggia (VE).

By the end of December 2024, this action of the European Life Muscles project, coordinated by Legambiente, will have made it possible to recycle 30 tonnes of socks - this is the name given to the tubular nets in which the mussels grow - and will amount to more than 70 tonnes by June 2025.
