Shredding & Recycling of Old Fishing Nets (Ghost Nets)

While fishing nets are an important tool for fisheries, they also pose a major threat to the marine environment. Every year, many tons of fishing nets end up in the oceans, where they become a serious threat to marine life. But there is hope: recycling fishing nets offers a sustainable solution to address this problem and recover valuable resources.

Through the targeted use of industrial shredders, old fishing nets and ropes can be effectively shredded and prepared for the further recycling process. The plastic flakes obtained are washed, melted and processed into high-quality regranulate – a valuable raw material for new products. This turns marine waste into a recycled material that protects both the environment and resources.
