Fishing net recycling offers growth opportunity, Ocean 14 Capital says

• Commercial fishing-net collection and recycling could outpace regulation, creating income incentives for fishers to return worn-out gear.
• EU extended producer responsibility schemes shift collection costs toward producers, potentially increasing end-of-life net supplies for recyclers.
• Bureo operates across eight countries; its Patagonia partnership has supported recycling more than 2,000 metric tons of discarded nets since 2020.
• Biodegradable nets can catch 10%-30% less than standard polymers, strengthening the case for durable, repairable gear and end-of-life recycling.
