To help reduce plastic pollution, we’re finding new ways to turn previously discarded forms of plastic, like fishing nets, into clothes that can be worn for generations.

How do nets become clothing?

Clean Up

Our partner Bureo collects these otherwise polluting nets from local fishermen along the coast of South America and repurposes them into NetPlus® material, which helps protect wildlife and support local fishing communities with financial incentives.

A new start for old nets. Our partner Bureo works with fishermen in Chile to retrieve discarded fishing nets and recycle them for use in new products we create.

Discarded nets are sorted, cleaned and shredded then recycled into NetPlus®, a 100% fully traceable postconsumer material.
