The Aquaculture Stewardship Council’s (ASC) current standards set criteria for dealing with plastic with requirements for certified farms to implement policies for waste reduction and recycling; and ensuring responsible storing and disposal of waste. ASC is reviewing the need for additional criteria to address the issue of plastics and marine litter, and is in the process of creating a Technical Working Group (TWG) on Marine Litter and Ghost Gear to provide input on future revisions of its standards or guidance documents.
