Before using biodegradable and compostable biopolymer nets (socks), screening, characterization, testing and small-scale production were necessary.

.

Novamont's work aims to evaluate the mechanical properties and environmental impact, in ecotoxicological terms, compared to standard polymers currently used for the production of mussel nets.
.

The literature produced in the design field to finally produce the networks with the selected biopolymer formulations is all here:

BP screening, BP characterization, production and testing at small scale
