Presentations from Transition to Circular Economy of Fishing Gear seminar

We organized an international seminar about circular economy of fishing gear at the NTNU Ålesund campus on Wednesday, 15th of May 2024.

What is circular economy of fishing gear all about? You can find the presentations from this event below and find out. The speakers included representatives of fishing gear producers, companies utilising recycled plastics from fishing gear as well as researchers working with these issues.

The event was the first of many upcoming CIRCNETS seminars, which will be organised in the partner countries. This seminar was also an EMD in My Country event.
