The Life Refish project promotes the creation of a flexible biorefinery to valorize discards and by-products from European fish and seafood production.
Jealsa, Nueva Pescanova Group, Opromar, Stolt Sea Farm, Valora Marine Ingredients and the Marine Research Institute have joined forces in the Life Refish project, an initiative aimed at setting up a flexible biorefinery to valorize discards and by-products from their activity.
