It is to its emblematic Down Sweater that the brand Patagonia has attacked to produce it with a fabric made from used fishing nets. Objective: put plastic pollution back where it belongs: in your jacket.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Rock Sport had presented you a few weeks ago the work done by Bureo in South America<\/strong><\/a>. Its creators Kevin Ahearn and David Stover detailed their action with local fishermen in order to prevent hundreds of tons of fishing nets from ending up in the ocean each year. After recovering this previously unexploited material, Bureo sorts, cleans and cuts up the used fishing nets directly on site in Chile. The whole is then transformed into recycled 100 % nylon granules, called NetPlus. These pellets can be further processed into fibers, components or molded plastic products. Companies purchase NetPlus as a sustainable alternative to new plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n
