Klaveness Combination Carriers ASA is now using Pinovo's technology on one of their combination carriers. Teknisk Ukeblad covers the news: "Klaveness Combination Carriers had long overlooked the fact that the maintenance of the company's ships led to the release of micro plastics into the ocean, the company said in a press release, but now they want to remedy it by using a sandblasting method that is new in the maritime industry."  Check out the translated text below!

How the european green deal can help stop Microplastics from entering the ocean

2/23/2021

Is it sustainable to let microplastic from paint reach the oceans?🤔 We do not think so! 💙🐳 The EU Sustainability Taxonomy has the potential to be a game changer for ESG (environmental, social and governance) investing, as it will determine what qualifies as “sustainable”. Including paint microplastics as one of the taxonomy's “Do No Significant Harm” criteria is a unique opportunity to tackle emissions at source. Declan McAdams and Tore Angelskår has published an article on this topic at World Economic Forums website. Read the article here.

PAINT FRAGMENTS AS POLLUTING MICROPLASTICS: A BRIEF REVIEW

1/18/2021

0 Comments

 
​Interesting (and a bit scary) review article published by US and Brazilian researcher in Marine Pollution Bulletin:
​
"More than 100 million particles of macroplastics are present in the seas, with 51 trillion microplastic particles (<5 mm) floating on the ocean surface"  
 
"....the impact of paint fragments in the oceans is likely to be at least similar to those of other plastics, involving ingestion by marine biota and transfer and concentration of contaminants, including microorganisms".
