The problem
Our oceans are flooded with plastic waste. Each year, 640k tons of ghost nets are dumped at sea (the same weight as 55,000 double-decker buses). In addition to this, plastic waste enters the sea from rivers or human consumption.
Our solution
We remove, transport, and clean discarded fishing nets from nearshore collection points and recycle them into premium fishing lures.
They are designed to work on a combination of 1) closing the pollution at the source, and 2) cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean and doesn’t go away by itself. Because no lure is good enough to catch a fish in waters in which there are none. Read a full Alternative Sustainability Report here.
The Source:
Ghost nets are removed from various nearshore collection areas in Southeast Asia. Why there? Because that’s where more than 60% of the worlds' marine plastic is concentrating. Apart from that, we're also recovering around 20% of our ocean plastic from Japan and South America.
To be completely environmentally compliant and sure that material source is truly from the ocean, we’ve leveraged relationships with some of the largest certification providers. Materials used in our fishing tackle hold GRS - Global Recycled Standard, REACH, ISO and RoHS certifications.
We've created the first fishing tackle with a certified direct net-positive impact on the planet
We’re here to revive our waters and bring a thriving life back to them. If we take no action NOW, the resulting negative outcome will impact our ecosystems, economies, and health. We are a purpose-driven business on a mission to end the ocean plastic pollution crisis.
We're sustainable
By closing pollution at the source, cleaning up the plastic that's accumulated in seas, and leveraging emission offsetting we were able to create the first net-positive fishing tackle program in the world. Read a full Alternative Sustainability Report here.
We're CO2 Neutral
Each movement of ocean plastic, recycled material, and finished tackle is tracked, and CO2 emissions are calculated. The resulting value in emissions is offset in favor of the various sustainable energy projects.
We're Scalable
Our current setup and capacities allow us to gradually scale up our production to meet any demand. That would concurrently mean more ghost nets recovered and faster ocean plastic cleanup.
