The plant would turn materials that would normally be dumped at sea or buried in landfills, into other products, including fish oil, dried meal and other solids for use as aquaculture feed, pet food and even human consumption.
Once approved, construction is expected to begin in the fall with full operation expected in 2027. The plant is expected to create eight to 10 full-time positions.
The proposal is now before the provincial environment department as part of the environmental assessment process.
