The wine industry produces a range of solid and liquid wastes commonly referred to as residuals that currently go to landfill for disposal. The aquaculture sector produce a range of materials such as spent netting, plastic buoys and mussel shells which can potentially be sent to landfill although the volume of shells has reduced significantly in recent years as this material is used in the production of compost.
