A study conducted in collaboration with the National Agency for Waste (AND) analysed the waste generated by six fishing ports in Algeria and found a wide range of waste types, mainly organic (over 50%) and plastic (30%), along with paper, metals, textiles and used tyres. Plastic is of particular concern, accounting for 86% of the waste recovered from fishing nets, 90% of which is single-use plastic such as bags, bottles and food packaging.
The study also highlighted the potential for valorisation of several types of waste, including plastics, wood, organic materials, waste oils, paper, metals and tyres, which could be recycled or reused to reduce their environmental impact and create economic opportunities.
The experts recommended an integrated approach to waste management in port areas, including setting up appropriate collection systems, promoting recycling and raising awareness among industry stakeholders. This initiative highlights the urgency of addressing the environmental challenges facing Algerian ports while offering concrete solutions to reduce their ecological footprint and improve the sustainability of the fisheries sector.
