The presence of B2E CoLAB in this prestigious event reflects their commitment to the promotion of sustainable practices, and innovations in science in the value chain of fisheries, aquaculture and processing. Rita Ribeiro will bring to discussion the topic to take full advantage of the fish, a notion that is increasingly important for the sustainability of marine life. This approach not only aims to reduce the amount of waste, but also the amount of by-products usually thrown away.

The recovery of by-products, such as oils, proteins, and bioactive compounds, is a a strategy that combines sustainability, and innovation, contributing to multiple industries, from food to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. This approach demonstrates how the application of science and technology can transform waste into valuable resources, promoting a more circular and efficient economic model.

In the context of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030), this event plays a crucial role in addressing the challenge of making oceans more productive and sustainable. The session “Fish Industry”, which will feature the participation by Rita Ribeirothis will be a chance to discuss concrete solutions and share experiences that could shape the future the blue food industry.

With a history of collaboration on strategic projects in the field of the blue bioeconomy, the B2E CoLAB reaffirms its commitment to contribute actively to the sustainable transformation of the industry. Participation in this event not only reinforces its position as a leading entity, but also reflects its ongoing commitment to innovate and collaborate with stakeholders to the development of an ocean, more productive, and resilient.
