Recycle-based polyamide contributes to a cleaner ocean and sustainable livelihoods—Part 3

Fishing nets make up nearly half of the ocean pollution in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Raising awareness of this ocean pollution problem is something Bernard Werk, a Dutch entrepreneur, set out to do when creating the startup Gyre and the SeaCleaner Watch. During this podcast, he discusses what inspired him to create the watch; the startup’s values; why it was a must to use a recycled material to make part of the watch; and why Akulon® RePurposed was the material of choice for Gyre.
