Post-Consumer Recycled Nylon 6 from Reclaimed Fishing Nets & Fast Fashion
Oceanworks® offer a range of 100% post consumer recycled polyamide materials made from either 'ghost fishing gear' including discarded fishing nets, or textile waste from the fast fashion industry.
These materials are all ideal for injection moulding and some extrusion methods. Suitable for use in consumer good such as zippers and other textiles, furniture items such as office chair spiders, and some industrial applications such as tractor components.
Polyamides from Reclaimed Fishing Nets
These high-quality Nylon (PA6) grades are sourced from nearshore collection areas in Asia, specifically targeting discarded fishing nets found in shallow ocean regions. By repurposing these abandoned nets, Oceanworks® provides a durable material suitable for various applications whilst also reducing ocean plastic pollution.
Oceanworks® Fishing Nets PA6 are suitable for injection moulding and fibre extrusion. The natural version of the Fishing Net grades allows you to colour the material easily to suit your brand.

Can you help with the collection of plastic waste from the oceans?
The IMPACT+ scheme from Oceanworks® pays local communities to collect polymer waste on a brand's behalf. This funds waste that may be further out at sea, or polymer found in waste dumps, and not just nylon but PP, PET, PS and much more.
This collection of waste is fully traceable by block-chain technology which is fully audited by Oceanworks® in house processes as well as by the GRS, the Global Recycling Standard. In return to investing in IMPACT+, you, as the brand owner receive a plastic credit certificate that can be utilised to offset your plastic consumption and/or in your branding and marketing.
