According to a June 11, 2020 Science Daily story, researchers with the Germany Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel (GEOMAR) https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/06/200611152450.htm report “… Even in the most remote regions of the oceans plastic debris can be found. Usually it is impossible to determine how long they have been lying on the seabed. Up to now, this has also hampered attempts to estimate how long plastic degradation might take. Scientists have now examined plastic items that have verifiably been at the abyssal seabed for more than 20 years. They could not find any traces of fragmentation or even degradation …” – The research report is here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-66361-7 #PlasticWaste #SingleUsePlastic #MicroPlastics #PlasticPackaging # GEOMAR
Animal Digestible Food Packaging Initiative
Our reason-for-being/goal/purpose/objective/intent is to convince/inspire/persuade/encourage the food processing industry to establish and fund a public private partnership for the discovery of new food packaging materials that would be digestible by animals (farm animals as well as ubiquitous microbes).
