Our recycled ocean plastic products are made from fishing nets and ropes we find on UK shores. We work with beach cleaning groups based in Cornwall and Scotland who collect the nets and waste. The material is collected, then sorted into types of plastics ready to be cleaned and processed.
Once the material is cleaned it is shredded into a small fibre that can be put into our plastic injection machines. The plastic is heated up to approximately 240 degrees and then injected into our bespoke metal moulds. We started with a small precious plastic injection machhine.

We now have much bigger machines that make the process alot more efficient and are scaling the cleanup with more materials collected, cleaned and manufactured into products with purpose.
