MarinaTex: a Biodegradable Plastic Made out of Fish Waste

Do you know MarinaTex, as a strong, flexible, translucent and biodegradable material, is ideal for replacing single-use plastic? This compound made out of fish guts, skins and scales and agar (an organic binder) biodegrades in four to six weeks

It should be noted that 50 million tones of fishing industry waste are produced each year in the UK, so this innovation (MarinaTex) is a way to turn waste into an ecofriendly material and reduce the consumption of petroleum-based plastic
