Empowering Fishing Communities With a More Circular Solution

The NetPlus recycling program supports cleaner, healthier coastal communities by improving waste infrastructure, creating local employment opportunities, and funding environmental non-profits. Keeping plastic pollution out of the ocean creates a positive ripple effect in the communities where we work.

Protecting Marine Ecosystems by
Reducing Plastic Pollution

Fishing nets are considered one of the most harmful forms of ocean plastic pollution. When abandoned or lost at sea, they can entangle marine life, harm coral and seabed habitats, and break down into microplastics. That's why we take a proactive approach by capturing nets before they can potentially end up in the environment.
