NetZero Nets

Problem: Ghost nets kill 650,000 marine animals each year, drifting for decades and damaging ecosystems for centuries.

Insight: If we can create biodegradable bottles, why not fishing nets?

Solution: The first self-disappearing fishing net, designed with biodegradable polymers that break down in seawater after 24 months, aligning with the natural lifespan of conventional nets.

New Tech: Time-Release Bioplastics

Execution: In partnership with Garmin, NetZero is offered to sustainable fisheries and governments. The nets track via GPS and biodegrade only if lost, reducing ghost nets without harming fishermen’s livelihoods.
