Our Processes: Blue Wave's Commitment to Sustainability

At Blue Wave, sustainability is a commitment that drives every aspect of our processes. This is reflected in our continuous innovation and compliance with internationally recognised environmental standards.

Our Processes: Blue Wave's Commitment to Sustainability

Sustainability isn't just a buzzword – At Blue Wave, it is a core value and a commitment that drives every aspect of our operations.

As a part of KB Seafood, with almost 100 years of experience, we understand the delicate balance between meeting consumer needs and safeguarding our oceans for future generations.

Our dedication to sustainable practices is not only reflected in our processes but also in our continuous innovation and compliance with internationally recognised environmental standards.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We take our flow of systems very seriously, ensuring that every step of our process is designed to minimise our environmental impact. This commitment is deeply embedded in our company culture, influencing everything from responsible sourcing to sustainable packaging processes.

We believe that responsible fishing is not just about maintaining fish populations but also about protecting the entire marine ecosystem. We continuously explore new avenues to fish responsibly and uphold our sustainable-minded approach, ensuring that our processes are effective and reliable while being mindful of our impact on people and the planet.

Rigorous Standards and State-of-the-Art Facilities

What sets us apart from other seafood suppliers is our state-of-the-art facilities. Our efficient processes ensure that every product meets our rigorous standards for taste, freshness, and sustainability. We understand that to deliver value-driven seafood using sustainable practices, we must maintain the highest levels of efficiency and quality control.

Our facilities are equipped with state of the art technology and are designed to minimise waste and energy consumption. We employ alternative sanitisation practices using enzymes instead of harsh chemicals, reducing our chemical footprint. Our packaging is designed to minimise long-term environmental impact and we continuously seek ways to improve our recycling processes.

Environmental Certifications

Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated by our certifications, which include:

Marine Stewardship Council

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is an international non-profit organisation that recognises and rewards efforts to protect oceans and safeguard seafood supplies for the future.

This certification ensures that our wild-caught seafood products are sourced from fisheries that meet stringent environmental standards.

Aquaculture Stewardship Council

The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) is the world's leading certification scheme for farmed seafood. The ASC's strict standards and requirements minimise the potential negative impacts of aquaculture on the environment, ensuring that our farmed seafood products are responsibly sourced.

Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation

The Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) is a co-regulatory, non-profit organisation that partners with governments and industries to reduce the harmful impact of packaging on the Australian environment. By promoting sustainable design and recycling initiatives, the APCO helps us reduce waste to landfill and move towards a circular economy.

Environmental Protection and Harm Minimisation

As part of KB Seafood (link to sustainability page on KB website), our objective is to operate according to the world’s best practices in environmental protection and harm minimisation. This is achieved through a series of carefully designed processes.

Minimising the Risk of Contamination

We take extensive measures to minimize the risk of on-site and off-site contamination through appropriate storage, treatment, and handling of chemicals and waste. This ensures that our operations do not adversely affect the environment.

Efficient Management of Facilities

We are dedicated to effectively managing our power and water facilities. Through optimising our resource usage, we minimise our environmental footprint and preserve valuable natural resources.

Recycling Processes

Our ongoing recycling processes are a cornerstone of our sustainability efforts. We minimize the volumes and types of waste generated, including fish waste, cardboard, and plastic packaging materials. This not only reduces our environmental impact but also promotes a circular economy.

Minimising Chemical Usage

By utilising alternative sanitisation practices, we significantly reduce our use of chemicals. Enzyme-based sanitisation methods are both effective and environmentally friendly, helping us maintain high hygiene standards without compromising on sustainability.

Packaging

Our packaging solutions are designed to minimise their long-term environmental impact. We continually seek innovative ways to improve our packaging, ensuring it is both effective and sustainable.

Compliance with Environmental Standards

We only use equipment and systems that comply with Australian and internationally recognised environmental standards, ensuring that our operations are in line with global best practices in sustainability.

Environmentally Managed Supply Sources

Our seafood products are sourced from environmentally managed supply sources that adhere to strict environmental guidelines.

Promoting a Sustainable Future

At Blue Wave, we understand that our responsibility to the environment extends beyond our immediate operations. We are committed to promoting sustainability and environmentally friendly practices in the seafood industry. We advocate for responsible fishing practices, support marine conservation efforts, and educate our consumers about the importance of sustainability.

Our nearly 100 years of experience with KB Seafood has taught us to adapt to changing environmental conditions and consumer preferences. By staying ahead of the curve and continuously innovating, we ensure that our practices remain sustainable and effective.

The Blue Wave Promise

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Blue Wave. From our state-of-the-art facilities to our rigorous environmental standards, we are dedicated to protecting our oceans and ensuring a sustainable future for all.
