Description: Material made of 100% post-consumer recycled nylon or 100% post-consumer recycled high-density polyethylene made from discarded fishing nets. The nets are sorted, cleaned, shredded, and baled before being sent for recycling. Depending on the material (HDPE or nylon), the nets will undergo a process based on mechanical recycling or depolymerization to create pellets. Through an active net take-back program in eight countries, local fishermen are being incentivized to return nets at the end of their lives for recycling before they can potentially end up in the environment. The material is fully traceable and the entire process from collection to recycling is verified by third parties. It is used to make fabric, clothing, hat brims and durable goods.
