'Covid-resistant' food tray from fishing industry waste

April 29, 2021
Dutch biotech start-up Parx Materials has partnered with Norwegian-based hygiene specialist ZincIn to develop an antibacterial food tray made from recycled fishing industry waste.
Through a combination of Parx’s Saniconcentrate antimicrobial additive and ZincIn’s self-cleaning technology, the tray is said to offer an over 99.9 per cent reduction in bacteria when compared with a typical food tray.
Norwegian Plastic Recycling (NORPEC) granulate, created from the plastics tanks and other waste discarded by the fishing industry, is used to manufacture the tray.
Fishing is currently responsible for at least 10 per cent of all marine litter – the equivalent of 640,000 tonnes a year, according to Greenpeace Germany.
