Waste Management
The Russian Aquaculture Group generates production
and consumption wastes of hazard classes 1-5. The bulk
of the Group's waste (over 98%) is Class 4 and Class 5-
the least hazardous.

waste removal and disposal costs
in 2021
The Group is compliant with environmental
and sanitary requirements for waste
management. Waste treatment, reuse
of materials, and the sale of recyclables
(cardboard, different types of containers, feed
bags, etc.) are the Group's key production
targets.
Fish waste is used to produce fish silage
and fish oil - valuable raw materials
for making feed and food supplements,
fertilisers, and other products.
Waste generation by hazard class and region
for 2021 | t
Waste is disposed of at facilities included in the State
Register of Waste Placement Facilities. The Group signed
contracts with waste receipt and transfer companies.
Waste transfers shall be documented (certificates,
invoices).
To tackle waste management, the Group adopted
an Industrial Environmental Control Programme and took
the following measures:
⚫ waste inventory and update of waste profile sheets;
⚫ waste record;
⚫ waste sorting;
timely removal of waste by specialised licensed
organisations.
To limit the possible adverse impact of production
and consumption waste on the environment, the Group
provides:
production and consumption waste optimisation
and sale of recyclables;
disposal of waste produced;

By-products
The Russian Aquaculture Group generates such
by-products as fish oil and fish silage - valuable
and marketable raw materials.
Fish Oil
The gutting produces offal that are subsequently used
to make oil. High-purity fish oil is sold to companies
that make and produce dietary supplements, organic
cosmetics, and animal (including pet) food.
Low-purity trimmings are used in the leather industry
and lubricant production. These can also be used
in the production of biodiesel or as a diesel fuel additive,
minimising the toxicity of exhaust gases while slightly
reducing engine efficiency.
Fish Hydrolysate (Silage)
In 2021, the total technical fish waste in cages was
12.5%, making a meaningful result in line with the world's
largest salmon producers. Every day we take dead fish
out of the water and process it into silage (adding highly
anti-bacterial formic acid to greatly reduce formation
of putrefactive microorganisms and bacteria). Several
agricultural enterprises receive the product for soil
application, as it helps to significantly improve the soil
yielding ability. By-products
2021 marked state tests of an organic fertiliser based
on fish hydrolysate. According to the reports, tests
on potatoes and wheat showed an increase in crop
yields and higher nutritional quality.
The Company is going to register fish protein
hydrolysate as an agrochemical
Reuse
The Russian Aquaculture Group uses recyclable
materials for packaging, which are subsequently used
in the production of building insulation.
Moreover, the Group sells empty feed bags, which
are then recycled. They are shredded and melted down
into pellets to make various plastic products.
Clean-up Programme for Inby Coastal
Areas
As part of the corporate environmental programme
Clean Shores, volunteers regularly clean up
the Murmansk region coastline from unauthorised landfill
sites. The Group provides the volunteers with everything
they need, including equipment and waste removal
vehicles.
The fish farms installation and operation result
in the generation of the following solid wastes:
• mercury, quartz-mercury and fluorescent lamps
with no consumer properties;
• waste mineral oils;
⚫ waste oil, fuel, and air filters;
⚫ waste cloth;
⚫ waste cordages;
• solid municipal waste (SMW);
• contaminated containers and others.
As waste accumulates, it is transferred to specialised
licensed organisations for transportation, treatment,
and disposal in landfills.
