Visit us for biodegradable plastics for tomorrow's ocean.
Plastic waste may soon outweigh fish in the ocean.
However, most so-called "biodegradable" materials do not actually degrade in the cold, dark ocean, limiting the options for scientists, instrument manufacturers, and fishermen to align their practices with their principles.
Nereid Biomaterials engineers bioplastics proven to degrade in the marine environment, leaving no microplastics behind. Our proprietary formulations speed or slow degradation for the individual use case - an unheard-of feature in plastics. We perform rigorous testing on material properties and degradation rate, both in-lab and in-ocean, to ensure the functionality of replacing plastic with our biomaterial in equipment and verify complete degradation. We are also pioneering the development of living materials for marine applications wherein natural marine microbes enhance degradation.
Our team of oceanographers, material scientists, and microbiologists design solutions with a range of degradation rates and shelf lives suitable for marine applications - and beyond. Contact us at info@nereidbio.com to make your gear truly ocean-degradable.
