The research team of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Eckhard Kraft addresses a global problem: the plastic waste in our oceans. Thousands of years pass before it decomposes. The waste breaks down into smaller and smaller particles. They often mistake sea creatures for food, swallow them and often die from it in agony. The engineers at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, together with a team from Bangladesh and the Institute for Social-Ecological Research (ISOE), are researching how to ensure that the garbage does not end up in the sea.
