24013. At a Pune Factory, 6,000 Tonnes of ‘Ghost Nets’ Are Being Turned Into Surfing Boards (Japan)
- I recently watched a Netflix documentary Seaspiracy, which emphasised the much-ignored problem of plastic waste caused due to fishing nets. It was terrifying to learn that the great Pacific garbage patch alone consists of 86 per cent fishing nets of its overall plastic pollution.
- Over 6,40,000 tonnes of fishing gear like nets, traps, pots and lines are dumped into the ocean every year. Their weight is equivalent to over 1,00,000 buses. ‘Ghost nets’ or ‘ghost gears’ are discarded and abandoned fishing nets that often kill marine life by accidental entrapment and choking.
- To solve the massive environmental issue that affects marine life globally, a Pune- based company DSM Engineering Materials—that works in the field of nutrition, health, biosciences and sustainable living—is converting the discarded fishing nets into high-quality surfboards.
- The nets are mixed with additives and are converted into granules to turn them into fibreglass surfboards. The granules, can be used to make furniture or other useful items as well. About 2,000 tonnes of such ghost nets are processed each year.
