Green Seafood Business Programme
Sustainable Seafood Processing
Sustainable Seafood Processing
Our Green Seafood Business Programme helps Irish seafood processors save money and reduce their impact on their environment, helping make seafood production even greener.
We’ve helped businesses across the seafood sector save money and improve their local environmental imprint through reduced energy, water consumption, and waste prevention management.
Green Seafood Programme has been designed to help any business operating in the Irish seafood industry. First, we’ll ask you to complete our resource efficiency form, then we’ll conduct an on-site assessment, which will identify areas that could be improved.
We’ll give you continued assistance to help you build a more efficient business, as well as onsite awareness training.
Case Studies As part of the Interreg funded Food Heroes project, BIM engaged Sea Box Energy to identify the possibility of recovering waste heat energy from existing processes in fish processing plants and using it in other applications.
BIM worked with industry to address the food waste challenge through the Food Heroes Project.

Island Seafoods Ltd Case Study
A seafood processing site in coastal Ireland implemented a Solar Power Management system via BIM’s Green Programme in response to rising energy costs and growing sustainability requirements. Like many processors in the sector, the site relies heavily on energy-intensive refrigeration, freezing, and cleaning processes.
