St. Lawrence College has entered in a strategic engagement partnership with Plantee Bioplastics Inc. to investigate the impact of various water qualities to their novel plant-based biodegradable fishing material. Plastic pollution from fishing gear has become known as ghost fishing and is the cause of numerous issues for underwater life, the most prominent being the loss of fishing lines and nets causing fish and other wildlife to become entangled. Plantee Bioplastics Inc. has developed a fully biodegradable product that could become an industry disruptor. Plantee Bioplastics Inc. received a DFO award to pursue its development and is now looking to St. Lawrence College to identify the impact of various water compositions on their Smart BioPolymer product. The results of this project will enable Plantee Bioplastics Inc. to position themselves and their novel product as an industry leader in a shift away from plastic based fishing gear.

圣劳伦斯学院已与 Plantee Bio Plastics Inc. 建立战略合作伙伴关系，以调查各种水质对其新型植物基可生物降解捕鱼材料的影响。渔具造成的塑料污染被称为“幽灵捕鱼”，是造成水下生物众多问题的原因，其中最突出的是渔线和渔网的丢失，导致鱼类和其他野生动物被缠住。 Plantee Bio Plastics Inc. 开发了一种完全可生物降解的产品，可能成为行业颠覆者。 Plantee Bio Plastics Inc. 获得了 DFO 奖项以继续其发展，目前正在寻求圣劳伦斯学院的帮助，以确定各种水成分对其 Smart BioPolymer 产品的影响。该项目的成果将使 Plantee Bio Plastics Inc. 能够将自己及其新颖产品定位为行业领导者，推动塑料渔具的转型。
