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.

圣劳伦斯学院已进入与Plantee生物塑料公司的战略合作伙伴关系。研究各种水质对他们的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，最突出的是鱼线和渔网的丢失，导致鱼类和其他野生动物被缠住。Plantee生物塑料公司已经开发出一种完全可生物降解的产品，可能成为行业颠覆者。Plantee生物塑料公司获得了DFO奖，以继续其发展，现在正在寻找圣劳伦斯学院，以确定各种水成分对其智能生物聚合物产品的影响。该项目的结果将使Plantee Bioplastics Inc.将自己和他们的新产品定位为从塑料渔具转变的行业领导者。
