Fishy Filaments

From Nets to Shades: A Closer Look 👓🌊 Recycled doesn’t mean compromised. This close-up of our material, crafted from end-of-life fishing nets, shows just how high-quality sustainable innovation can be. 🌟 Did you know? Recycled nylon is just as durable and versatile as virgin nylon, but it reduces ocean waste and lowers the carbon footprint. Sunglasses like these don’t just look good—they do good. 😎 We’re proud to work with our ongoing partner, 30 South Ocean Positive Eyewear, who use our recycled materials to create a range of products.

Co-located petrochemical plants are also at risk (previously shared analysis) adding to the known freshwater flood risks of these significant pieces of plastic production infrastructure. Maybe it’s why major plastics players are looking at our distributed nylon recycling infrastructure, to offset that risk ? #resilience #insurance #liability #disruption

At the start of the new year, imagine something bold: A world without waste 🌍🤯 This isn’t just a dream - it’s a real possibility. 👉 Thermoplastics like PA-6 with carbon fibers can be reused multiple times without losing their mechanical properties. This has been proven by Martin Kausch and the amazing team at Fraunhofer IWU. Their SEAM technology for additive manufacturing is based on granules, which greatly simplifies the processing of recycled material. 💡 When integrated into our machines, the SEAM extruder can realize its full potential for industrial use, achieving incredible output rates of up to 10 kg/h. This isn’t just about reducing waste; it’s about transforming how industries think about materials: Making them investments that last rather than resources to discard. What steps toward circular economy can you envision in your industry?

We're delighted to be recognised by this panel of independent judges and to accept the runners up prize. #innovation #leadership #sustainability

We were recently honoured to present Fishy Filaments to a major international conference in South Korea, immediately in advance of the two other international conferences on Plastic Pollution and Overseas Aid. Our founder spoke in the session on Fishing Community Business Transformation and Emerging Opportunities to introduce 1500 delegates from over 30 countries to a small start-up from the UK and what we have done to transform community-scale access to high quality recycling of end-of-life monofilament nets. #recycling #development #plastic #pollution #inc5 #unfao #icfc2024 #community

#icfc2024 International Conference On Fishing Communities closing video This was the second edition of this conference and as a senior delegate from Niarobi mentioned to me as we left, it felt important. With only 1500 delegates from 34 nations and over 4 days, it was tiny when compared with the UN Plastic Pollution Treaty negotiations up the road, but it was all about community scale actions and impacts in global fishing communities. With multiple attendences from Korean ministers, their deputies and their marine technology agency, the JMI, there was no doubt how seriously the hosts were taking both their own challenges and their wider leadership role. It was breakfast with ministers of small island island states (SIDS) and coffee with The World Bank and UN FAO, with not a lobbyist in sight. Insight into why Ecuador needs help after being hit by 60+ storms in recent years or how AI-driven drones are helping the safer harvest of octopus in muddy estuaries or why the Korean UNESCO-recognised Haenyeo fisher women are taking to social media. It was diverse. It was colourful. It was challenging at times. But it was worth the jet lag. Many thanks to the Korean Ministry of Ocean and Fisheries for the invitation to speak and to be part of the wider event.
