 Polybutylene succinate cobutylene adipate coethylene succinate coethylene adipate, PBAS, a biodegradable polymer with excellent strength and elongation, has been developed to replace conventional nylon-based non-degradable fishing nets. This new material can greatly reduce the risk of ghost fishing occurring at the fishing site, as well as preventing the release of microplastic particles into the environment when the product is disposed of in composting conditions.
