Three Eastern Wisconsin companies have signed onto the “100% Great Lakes Fish Pledge”, including Manitowoc’s Dramm Corporation.
As a part of the pledge, Dramm, Lindal Fisheries, and Dan’s Fish Inc. all committed to using 100% of each commercially caught Great Lakes fish productively by 2025.
The companies will also help communicate to other companies in the fish supply chain about opportunities for innovative applications for fish byproducts including fertilizer, protein, marine collagen, leather, or other new, high-value products.
Fritz Dramm, the Fertilizer Production and Compliance Manager with Dramm Corporation said of the pledge, “Drammatic® liquid fish fertilizer is not only a great input for organic agriculture and helpful bio-stimulant for soil, but it also provides for an ecologically sound recovery of nutrients which would otherwise be lost to conventional methods of waste collection.”
In total, 20 companies have signed the pledge, which you can learn more about by visiting GSGP.org.
