Revolutionising Marine Coatings to Tackle Antifouling with Christina Linke | Pitchfest 2022 Series

Description
Did you know the industry standard coating for marine vessels, antifouling paint, is toxic? Often containing solvents, biocides to prevent growth, and designed to self-erode when organisms eventually take hold. With the commercial shipping fleet growing to over 90,000 vessels in 2022, this global problem is hidden below the water. But one German startup is bringing it to the surface. We chatted to Christina Linke, Co-founder and CEO of Clean Ocean Coatings, about their innovative biocide-free coating, and the challenges involved in disrupting this unwavering industry. → Shownotes: https://www.ocean-impact.org/podcast/christina-linke → Visit their Website: https://www.cleanoceancoatings.com/en/clean-ocean-coatings → Follow them on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cleanoceancoatings/?originalSubdomain=de → Watch their Pitch Video: https://youtu.be/Lyix0UlkHV4
