Sustainable innovation in the fish industry revolutionises waste management – In the fish industry, waste management is one of the most complex and strategic challenges. More than 50 per cent of processed fish is discarded in the form of bones, skin, hard tissue and parts considered inedible. This waste of raw material not only represents a significant economic loss for companies, but also has a strong environmental impact. Reducing waste and maximising the use of every part of the fish has become a crucial goal for the industry, especially in a context where sustainability is now a decisive criterion for consumers and investors.
It is in this scenario that the partnership between SuperGround, a Finnish foodtech company, and Korshags, a historic Swedish fish processing brand, was born.
The aim is to revolutionise the industry by drastically reducing waste and turning waste materials into new consumer opportunities.
Korshags, based in Falkenberg, has for years been synonymous with quality and innovation in the production of fish products. With the ambition of making its processes fully regenerative in the coming years, it has found in SuperGround a strategic partner to achieve this goal.
The technology developed by SuperGround makes it possible to convert bones and hard fish tissue into safe, tasty and profitable food products. This solution not only improves production efficiency, but also opens up new business perspectives for the industry, giving value to what was previously considered mere waste.
Jaakko Kaminen, CEO of SuperGround, said he was excited to partner with Korshags to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable seafood industry. ‘Together,’ he said, ’we can show that every part of fish can have a use and value, transforming the industry with a truly circular approach.
This partnership is a concrete example of how innovation and sustainability can coexist, reshaping the future of the fishing industry. With initiatives like this, the industry is moving ever closer to zero-waste production, where every resource is used intelligently and efficiently.
