Project Details
Description
The main working hypothesis for SFI Biodegradable plastics is that the problems associated with marine plastic litter caused by the fishery and aquaculture sectors can be significantly reduced if traditional plastics in these sectors are replaced with new biodegradable materials.
The goal of SFI is to develop technologies and new products, improve the governance framework, and foster innovations that enable the plastic value chains to become more circular and resource efficient. This will reduce the carbon and greenhouse gas footprints to be more in line with climate, energy, and sustainable development goals (UN SDG 9, 12, 14).
Specifically will DTU test biodegradation of gillnets and twines (PBSAT as test and PA as control) in the gill-net fishery for cod and plaice in the Skagerrak.
