Snorri Hreggviðsson, Margildi ehf., Won first prize in the competition The Future Policy Idea of the Fisheries Conference 2015.
The idea is to produce Marlys, mackerel, herring and capelin for human consumption. Margildi ehf. has developed a new and unique processing method, so-called rapid cold cleaning, which makes it possible to cold clean fish oil from pelagic species. Until now, it has not been possible to cold-clean efficiently and fully purify the aforementioned fish oil for human consumption due to the large amount of saturated and long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids in the fish oil.
Margildi has worked on the project with the engineering firm EFLA, Matís, KPMG, Alta ráðgjöf, Kanon Architects, the University of Akureyri, the Association of Southern Municipalities (SASS), the Association of Municipalities in East Iceland (SSA), the Ministry of Industry and Innovation, AVS and Sjávarklasan. Experimental raw materials have been obtained from HB Grandi, Síldarvinnslan and Eskja, as well as Vinnslustöðin and Ísfélagið in the Westman Islands.
Matís 'experts have been involved in the project and Matís' facilities have used the project to advance it.
