Every year,countless marine organisms die from the plastic waste.Many environmental organizations have launched a series of rescue operations to help marine animals remove the "deadly necklace" from their necks. However,scissors with low cutting efficiency can caused limited physical damage to fishing nets.Adopting the principle of high temperature and easy melting of plastics,this design combines the heating function and cutting function and redesigns the shape of scissors according to the physical characteristics of marine animals,reducing the difficulty of rescue and shortening the rescue time.
