Bureo runs net-collection programs in coastal fishing communities, starting in Chile, and transforms recovered nets into NetPlus, a 100% recycled material. The material replaces virgin plastic in products from Patagonia, Big Agnes, and others. The company pays fishing communities for collected nets, keeping harmful gear out of the ocean while supporting local livelihoods.
