Insights
It's estimated that 5,000 tonnes of waste shells are generated in the UK fishing industry every year, so by recycling the shells, 100% of every whelk is being used. The whelks are caught locally using traditional pots, a low impact method of fishing which means minimal damage to the sea floor and marine habitats.
