“Every year, around 640,000 tons of fishing nets end up in our oceans, posing a serious threat to our marine ecosystem. Some of these discarded fishing nets are already in the ocean, and some are making their way into the ocean,” said Pranveer Singh Rathore, Materials R&D Manager, Samsung Electronics, during the media roundtable.
