Fish farms move stock and harvest in expanded-foam that many regions already restrict, and PPWR’s reuse push accelerates the deadline for a recyclable alternative.
The hatchery’s single-use shell
Fish and shellfish move in foam containers that are binned the moment biomass is transferred, a flow no one recovers and few markets still permit.
Pain: the biosecure disconnect
Hatcheries obsess over water and disease control yet ignore the container’s lifecycle, so the largest daily packaging waste stays outside the sustainability report.

Rulowin produce crates
Our reusable PP crates are food-grade, drainable and returnable, replacing foam without disrupting the biosecurity routine.
