Discarded fishing nets are one of the most harmful forms of ocean plastic pollution. To combat this, Bureo partners with fishing communities around the world to collect end-of-life nets, preventing them from entering the ocean in the first place. Collected nets are then recycled into NetPlus – Bureo’s signature material, which can be woven or knitted into performance fabrics suitable for cold, wet, and sunny conditions, providing a high-quality feedstock option for outdoor and sports apparel brands. By replacing virgin nylon with NetPlus, brands can effectively lower their carbon footprint while supporting a responsible solution for the apparel industry.
