Recently, there has been a collaboration between Vistum, Rorum and Ísfell, which was run by VISTUM. The project manager was Magnús Þór Bjarnason. The project was about checking whether small mussels among other things that ate cleaned of sea-cadges on land could be used in some way in stead of being desposed of. Operations and cost-effectiveness were assessed on the potential utilization of these raw materials and the results were presented in the final report.
