European foreword
This document (prEN 17988-5:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 466
“Circularity and recyclability of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment”, the secretariat of which is
held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
EN 17988 consists of the following parts, under the general title Circular design of fishing gear and
aquaculture equipment:
— Part 1: General requirements and guidance
— Part 2: User manual and labelling
— Part 3: Technical requirements
— Part 4: Environmental and circularity requirements and guidelines
— Part 5. Circular business models
— Part 6. Digitalization of gear and components

Introduction
Directive (EU) 2019/904 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the reduction of the
impact of certain plastic products on the environment lays down rules on different plastic products,
including fishing gear containing plastics, and sets requirement to the Member States to establish
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes. It also contains rules on minimum national annual
collection rates and report fishing gear placed on the market and waste fishing gear collected in ports.
In 2021 the Commission Implementing Decision M/574 on a standardization request to the European
Committee for Standardization as regards circular design of fishing gear in support of Directive (EU)
2019/904 was approved, which forms the basis for this document and the series it belongs to.
The purposed of this series of documents is to enable stakeholders to address the different aspects
of circular design of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment.
In this part developing circular business models for fishing gear and aquaculture equipment is
addressed. Circular business models are intended to not only keep a product in its original intended
use for as long as possible, but also to provide opportunities to interact with other sectors. Such
interactions enable the development of completely new market and cooperation opportunities. One
example is the current trend to take up materials, components/ parts and products from fishing gear
applications and introduce them into the fashion industry e.g. as fabric and/ or apparel. These first
incentives can be viewed as stunts rather than fully developed business models; however, they have
value in promoting circularity commercially and with customers. This can be an important step
towards developing stronger networks and therefore, increasingly advanced business models.
This document is also intended to provide the basis for supporting guidelines for Extended Producer
Responsibility (EPR) schemes for fishing gear and aquaculture equipment. Taxation is also a method
for favouring take-back and recycling (tax rate depends on the amount of recycled material in the
product). Costs (and, if needed, subsidies, taxes) are best divided over the different steps in the
recycling process.

retention, product life extension and recycling of fishing gear and aquaculture equipment.

Figure 1 — circular economy transition process [source: ISO/CD 59010:2022, Figure 4]
Often the transition from a linear to a circular economy is depicted as the closing of the value chain
(see left and middle image in Figure 1), while it rather should be seen as the transition to a value
network. Only when looking beyond the life circle of a specific product to the network of possible
combinations of the different stages of product life cycles can a material, component/ part or product
remain in the (circular) economy as long as possible. The aim shall always be to choose the pathway
giving the highest possible value to the materials, components/ parts and products. In this context it
is important to identify the possible gaps but also the possible opportunities.
The ultimate goal of the circular economy is to eliminate the production of waste by keeping all
materials, components/ parts and products in the value network. This document aims to provide the
reader with tools to develop or participate in the development of business models which support this
ultimate goal.
In a first step the type of business model shall be determined. Selected examples for different
business models are provided in Annex A.
In a second step the key elements for the business model shall be identified. Section 6 provides
guidance for identifying and implementing the key elements for developing and setting up business
models. It is advisable to draft several business models, taking into account possible variations of the
key elements. These different business models shall then be compared, and the most suitable options
shall be identified.
The aim shall be to develop self-sufficient business models and processes, but in some cases,
subsidies can be needed to start up the process until it can become self-sufficient or to support the
process when economic values change.
