Side-stream is shipped directly from the company’s port, reducing the number of diesel trucks used. Most of the company’s side-stream is sold domestically-and since 2016, the company increased the side-stream sold domestically by 10-fold. Since 2016, the percentage of volume the company turns into nutrient-rich feed increased by 165%. “GC Rieber VivoMega has worked intensively to find additional ways to incorporate these large volumes back into the food chain and reduce and repurpose the amounts sold for energy.” “By design, the production of omega-3 concentrates results in side-streams that historically have been sold and burned as energy,” the company explained. For the past decade, the company has worked with large fish-meal producers to “improve the quality of something that was once considered ‘waste’ into high-value input for fish oil refining and concentration,” the company said in a press release. The company’s starting material is repurposed as side-stream for the fish meal industry, as well as for energy. Omega-3 concentrates supplier GC Rieber VivoMega (Kristiansund, Norway) reports that since 2016, it increased the recycling of its side-stream product by 165%.
