Dsolve - Biodegradable plastics for marine applications

Marine Litter

Dsolve is a new centre for research-based innovation (SFI), headed by UiT – The artctic University of Norway. Our research aims to reduce plastic litter and associated problems (ghost fishing, macro and microplastic) caused by the fishery and aquaculture industries. The goal is that traditional plastics in these sectors can be replaced with new biodegradable materials. Our ambition is to place Norway at the forefront of research, development and use of smart biodegradable materials to reduce the global problem of marine litter caused by the use of plastic in fisheries and aquaculture.

Four national and four international research institutions, multple industrial partners and gear suppliers, as well as several public agencies and organizations from the fishery- and aquaculture sector also participate in the centre.

SALT is responsible for all communication and dissimination of results.
