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.
