This session will delve into circular economy principles applied to the valorization of bioactive compounds from marine by-products for use in cosmetics, nutraceutics, and pharmaceuticals. Topics covered will include:

• Processes for utilizing enriched fish oils in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and feed sectors.
• Valorization techniques for polyphenols derived from marine plants, with a focus on their cosmetic applications.
• Applications of carotenoids sourced from marine by-products, including shrimp and crab, in pharmaceuticals and aquaculture feeds.
• Best practices for integrating bio-based materials into product value chains and the economic and environmental benefits of these practices.
