This document specifies the environmental and circularity requirements for
the components of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment containing
plastics. It establishes sustainability principles that minimize the negative
impact of the plastic components of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment
on the environment, taking into account the impact on its performance (e.g.
catchability or life span). The circular and environmental design of fishing gear
and aquaculture equipment focuses on:
— The selection and sourcing of materials and components;
— manufacture and assembly;
— placement, installation and deployment of the fishing gear and aquaculture
equipment;
— use and maintenance repair; and
— the end-of-use stage.
Transport, storage and distribution are taken into account at the different
stages, where applicable.
This document excludes design aspects related to fishing or aquaculture
techniques or management.
