Healing the planet 1 pound at a time.

The company says that the advantages are little to no environmental impact, with no antibiotics or harmful chemicals, and efficient land and hydro energy use vs coal in other countries. Currently, Bluestar Food’s engineering partner PR Aqua — a company that has been in business for over 20 years in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada —together have designed the next generation in modular RAS facilities and located an optimum site to start building said design.

In addition to its aquaculture solution, it focuses on sustainable catching by hiring local fishers who practice artisanal fishing, ensuring top quality and safer equipment use. This practice also minimizes traditional exploitative fishing practices that are unfortunately common in the industry.

Blue Star states that it has led the way in eco-friendly packaging since 2003 with its Patented process for Eco-Fresh Crab Meat Pouches, reducing 60% Greenhouse gasses  (GHG) against Cans and requiring less waste than other products. The waste that is produced is recycled, thanks to its extensive recycling program with Waste Management Inc. (NYSE:WM).

Through its efforts to farm environmentally-conscious marine life, support local fishers and perfect a product that could be on the dinner plate of millions of people, Bluestar Foods hopes to emphasize that sustainability is not just a trend: it is a new way of life as well as a remediating economy movement.
