    This includes chitin, chitosan, protein hydrolysate, and calcium citrate.

    Government has accepted the waste management plan submitted for a biomaterials processing operation at a facility in St. Anthony. Atlantic BioCorp Ltd. wants to add the ability to the existing industrial facility. This will keep shrimp and crab shell waste from landfills and convert it into bioproducts, including chitin, chitosan, protein hydrolysate, and calcium citrate. All activities would occur indoors within existing buildings, requiring no new land development or external infrastructure.
