With year-on-year production growing by more than 10% - and the UK's weekly fish consumption predicted to grow from 8 million kg last year to 9.23 million kg by 2030* - the EPS group decided to expose the secret life of the polystyrene fish box and its role in protecting the 657,000 tonnes of fish landed at UK ports and fish farms every year.
The film includes scenes shot at dawn at London's Billingsgate where the ubiquitous fish box is acknowledged by merchants as a critical factor in keeping seafood fresh and safe and thereby reducing food wastage. Billingsgate also leads the way in ensuring that all the fish boxes left over at the end of the day are compacted for recycling.
