This containerised fishing net recycling solution can double the amount of recycled nylon available to industry
The world's commercial fisheries consume around 150,000 tonnes per year of nylon monofilament in the form of nets and lines. Most of it is buried or burned within a year of purchase, creating a long lived hazard or a new generation of pollution wherever that happens. The UN has identified a lack of recycling infrastructure as a causal factor for the low rate of recycling. We've invented and built a low cost, low energy, community scale recycling system that takes end-of-life nets and transforms them into a ready-to-use rae material, either for export or local manufacturing. There is a ready demand for this material from manufacturers seeking raw materials with certifiable high sustainability credentials. This recycling hardware is designed from the ground up to be containerised, deployable and in some configurations off-grid capable. We're solving multiple isses in one go; fishing net waste, high sustainability raw materials and local economic activity
