The focus of this initiative is on sustainable construction.

Each year the salmon farming companies discard buoys, floats, floats, among other elements that are difficult to reduce due to their size and characteristics.

In the face of this problem, Mowi Chile various strategies have been proposed for cooperation and alliances with local branded companies that seek the material reuse, to create a circular economy to help maintain a Healthy ecosystem and, in turn, continue with the educational work on the importance of giving second life to all materials discarded in the salmon farming operation.

In the Aysén regionMowi Chile set out to work hand in hand with the company Aysén Recircular SpA, whose operation addresses the development of thermal insulationhaving as raw material expanded polystyrene (EPS) that uses the salmon industry in buoys and floats present in their Cultivation centres. This local firm, which operates since 2022 through the innovation, progress towards a method of sustainable construction.

So positive has been its impact, that this 2024 the Department of Building Technologies (Ditec) of the Technical Division for Study and Housing Development of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning (Minvu), granted official approval to his construction system.
