Flushing rubbish down the toilet has impacts on nature
Out of sight, out of mind? Far from it! Urine, faeces and toilet paper are the only things you should ever flush down the toilet. Anything else has a negative impact on marine life.
SINTEF Ocean conducts research and innovation related to ocean space for national and international industries. Our ambition is to continue Norway's leading position in marine technology and biomarine research. Many of the challenges of modern society can be solved through sustainable use of the ocean. Transport, food and energy production represent the backbone of ocean-based industries, and are also core areas for SINTEF Ocean. In addition, we focus on environmental technology, with one of the world’s leading professional environments in marine environmental technology. Through cooperation in the SINTEF group, we are also able to integrate our own expertise with expert technological knowledge from other industry sectors.

Data from our open ship design and test platform SINTEF Ocean Bulk Carrier (SOBC-1) can now be downloaded for use in research projects and case studies in for example green shipping.
After three years of waiting it has finally happened. Researchers have succeeded in getting a red sea cucumber, widely regarded as the world’s most expensive seafood, to spawn in the lab.
