Welcome to EUROCORD website. Eurocord is a European Association of Rope, Twine and Netting manufacturers, their suppliers and their affiliate industries. As such, we promote dialogue between our members from all over Europe and work closely with the European Commission on our fields of interest.
Eurocord, together with some of its members, is deeply involved in the EU-project Glaukos project in search of new biobased or biodegradable material, both for marine-used ropes and nets, as well as for textile applications in T-shirts.
One of Glaukos’ partners, the Centro de Investigación Mariña - CIM Uvigo, has just published article. The paper presents a simple and rapid standard protocol based on their biological oxygen demand, intended to support policy-makers and plastic industry in the search for truly marine-biodegradable plastics.
