In recent decades, the rise of plastic pollution has become a major threat to the health of Earth\u2019s oceans. According to a reports by the Dutch NGO \u2018stichting de Noordzee\u2019, fishing net protection known as \u201cDolly rope\u201d is the biggest source of waste found on the Dutch shores, which was a conclusion after 20 years of monitoring. These ropes are used to protect fishing nets dragging over the sea bottom, and as a result wear off resulting in plastic pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, Senbis has developed a marine degradable alternative. In cooperation with the Dutch government (Rijkswaterstaat) and fisherman\u2019s association (Visned), field tests have been executed (on 5 fishing boats simultaneously). The parties are now investigating financing and organizing even larger tests, allowing Senbis to optimize the product and upscale production.\u00a0

Senbis Polymer Innovations B.V., Emmen\/Netherlands, is currently investigating the correlation between biodegradation and mechanical properties in an EU-funded scientific project called “PolyBioDeg”. The project is a collaboration between Senbis and the University of Amsterdam (UVA), Amsterdam\/Netherlands, under the Horizon umbrella, and it is funded through Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF). The project aims to explore the \u201cstructure-properties of melt-spun bioplastic fibers in correlation with their biodegradation behavior and mechanical performance\u201d. The research will be led by Dr. Mohammadreza Naeimirad, who has experience in fiber melt-spinning and has worked at ITA in Aachen\/Germany, EMPA in St. Gallen\/Switzerland, and NSCU in Raleigh, NC\/USA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
