UK company recycles abandoned plastic fishing gear (“ghost gear”) to designer sunglasses: the story of Waterhaul

Waterhaul is a Cornish social-enterprise focused on tackling the problem of “ghost” fishing gear and creating a complete end-of-life recycling solution for fishing gear, ropes and marine plastics in the UK.

By recovering, recycling and redesigning end-of-life fishing gear, they transform it into a valuable resource, and through giving worth to this ‘waste’ they can incentivise both the recovery and prevention of marine plastic pollution.
