Operates NetPlus recycled nylon

Bureo collects and sorts waste fishing nets in ways that contribute to local communities, and owns and operates NetPlus®, a brand of 100% recycled nylon material made from waste fishing nets.

Connected solar PV in Chile

This month, our solar PV system was officially connected at our fishing net recycling hub in Talcahuano, Chile. With this, the hub now has the capacity to recycle thousands of tons of end-of-life fishing nets—powered primarily by the sun.

Supported community projects

Every brand partnership helps us drive local impact in the communities where we work. The more nets we recycle, the more funding we can direct to local environmental non-profits. Here’s a snapshot of some community projects we supported in 2025.

Built Netwood recycling points

In partnership with the local Peruvian recycler Plastic Corporation, we transformed discarded fishing nets into a durable building material known as Netwood. Netwood combines end-of-life fishing nets with agricultural plastic waste to create fully water-resistant building materials with comparable structural performance to conventional alternatives. Together with our fishery program partner, Austral, we constructed two recycling points for the artisanal fishing communities of Coishco and Chancay using Netwood.

Installed clean water filters

We helped improve access to clean water through the Posorja Maternity Center in partnership with non-profit FundaciĂłn REDNI, our fishery partner Guayatuna, local health and education authorities, and the Pablo Neruda School community. In total, 47 household water filters were distributed, and a community water filter was installed at the Posorja Maternity Center.

Supported turtle conservation

We supported the Marine Turtle Conservation and Community Engagement Project, led by FundaciĂłn Contamos Contigo Ecuador. This project enabled tangible conservation work, including sea turtle hatchling releases, nest monitoring, beach cleanups, mangrove reforestation, and microplastic sampling, as well as infrastructure upgrades for the Marine Conservation Community Center and observation tower.
