The purpose of sustainable packaging is to reduce the impact of packaging on the environment. Project Sustainable Seafood Packaging (SSP) investigates sustainable packaging options currently available to seafood processors.

The project explores the different categories of sustainable packaging including compostable, biodegradable, and recyclable options, and their suitability for fresh chilled seafood products. Project SPP demonstrates the market need to move to sustainable packaging outlining the demand from consumers, retailers, and legislation. It outlines each packaging material category’s infrastructure limitations and gives some costing examples. Project SSP’s purpose is to advise seafood processors on sustainable packaging options.
