treatment plant. The extra space could then be used for
producing pet food and fish oil, which were made from leftovers
from the canned food production as well as heads and guts. Due to

until September 1998. It has been both a financial and an ecological
challenge for the company to use all waste products in the
production of fish oil and animal food
