The Material

What is Recycled Ocean Gear?

What was once a major source of ocean pollution is transformed into a durable, recyclable plastic alternative.

Premium performance engineered from recovered marine waste.

Recycled Ocean Gear is a high-performance material made entirely from recovered fishing nets, ropes, and maritime waste collected from ports and coastal industries.

Mechanically recycled and processed into mold-ready compounds, this material supports cleaner oceans and circular product design. It acts as a direct, durable alternative to virgin plastics, built to withstand the demands of rigorous manufacturing environments.

Sourcing and Manufacturing Process

From maritime waste to refined polymer

Our closed-loop recovery process guarantees purity, consistency, and structural integrity.

01

Collection & Recovery

Fishing nets, ropes, and plastics are collected via partnerships with ports and fisheries. Materials are aggregated from verified recovery programs to ensure traceability.

02

Sorting & Cleaning

Recovered gear is sorted by polymer type and rigorously cleaned to remove salt, organic matter, and contaminants, ensuring material purity.

03

Mechanical Recycling

Cleaned materials are mechanically processed—shredded, melted, and re-granulated—without chemical additives to preserve polymer integrity.

04

Material Refinement

Recycled polymers are filtered, stabilized, and compounded to achieve consistent mechanical properties such as strength, flexibility, and impact resistance.

05

Manufacturing

The refined material is used in standard manufacturing processes including injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding to create high-quality products.

06

End-of-Life Integration

At end of life, products can be collected, reprocessed, and recycled again—supporting closed-loop systems that keep plastic out of oceans.

Applications

Built to endure. Designed to inspire.

The inherent strength of maritime plastics makes this material ideal for demanding structural and consumer applications.

Durable Goods
Consumer Hardware

Perfect for high-strength injection-molded goods such as eyewear frames, skateboard components, and outdoor equipment. Excellent impact resistance and tensile strength.

Apparel Accessories
Buckles, Buttons & Hardware

Replace virgin nylon and polyester in fashion hardware. Provide your customers with a tangible, structural piece of marine conservation on every garment.
