RECYCLED PLASTIC SHEETS MADE FROM FISHING NETS & ROPES
Turn marine waste into something extraordinary.
Recycled plastic sheets made in the UK from recovered marine plastics, fishing nets and ropes. What if the material you specify for your next project could help clean our coastlines?
At Ecotribo, we collect discarded fishing nets, ropes and other marine plastics from UK coastlines and transform them into beautiful, durable recycled plastic sheets. Instead of sending valuable plastic to landfill, incinerators, or our oceans, we give it another life.
From architecture and interior design to furniture, product development, retail displays and creative installations, our recycled plastic sheets offer a genuinely different material story.
RECYCLED PLASTIC SHEETS.
OCEAN PLASTIC REIMAGINED
Our sheets are manufactured in the UK using recovered marine plastic. Every sheet contains material with a story - plastic that has been collected, sorted, cleaned and processed before being transformed into a new material.
The result is a distinctive recycled plastic sheet with the character of the original material and the potential to become something completely new.
You don't just buy recycled plastic. You buy into the story of where it came from. We have full traceability of our materials from shore to sheet using our Ecotraceability™ system - a practice that tracks a product's environmental impact, origin, and lifecycle journey from raw material sourcing to the final consumer shelf. It utilises digital tools like QR codes, IoT data, and blockchain to provide verified transparency regarding sustainability compliance.
RECOVER
Working with coastal communities, fishermen and beach clean groups to recover ghost fishing nets and marine plastics from UK shores.
We can also transform your own plastic waste into bespoke recycled materials.
RECYCLE
The materials are cleaned, sorted and processed in our UK micro-factories based in Devon & Bristol. We have full transparency across our supply chain.
No greenwashing. One of the most sustainably made recycled plastic sheets in the United Kingdom. Every one of our plastic sheets directly cleans our coasts & protects wild life
REIMAGINE
One material. A thousand possibilities.Using specialist manufacturing equipment we can CNC a range of beautiful designs based on your brand and concepts. Just like our designer products, we can transform waste into plastic sheets and custom products that tell a story of recovery and renewal.
RENEW
Every one of the products we make helps us recover, renew and rewild our natural spaces. Your business and brand can help us to keep scaling the cleanup and protecting wild life -that's a win for people, businesses and nature.

FROM GHOST NET TO SHEET
RECYCLED PLASTIC SHEETS WITH A TRACEABLE STORY
-
Demand more from your materials suppliers. We believe recycled materials should be more than a green claim with a pretty leafy logo. You've got to prove it and show it.
-
That's why we developed Ecotraceability® - our approach to connecting recovered material with the places it came from.
-
We can tell the story behind the material: what was recovered, where it was found and how it was transformed.
-
That means your project can communicate a much more meaningful sustainability story.

WHAT CAN YOU MAKE FROM RECYCLED OCEAN PLASTIC SHEETS?
The exciting thing about recycled plastic is that it doesn't have to look like rubbish. People have often thought that our materials look like premium materials such as marble and jade. Our materials have a beautiful story of renewal for people and the planet that feels good to touch and in your heart. Designers can cut, fabricate and transform the material into entirely new products and spaces.
This is more than material recovery.
It's material transformation.

WATER IS LIFE.
EVERY PROJECT HELPS PROTECT IT
FOR BUSINESSES WHO CARE
ESG with a difference. Give your sustainability story something people can actually see & feel, with full traceability to the beach you helped protect
Sustainability shouldn't just live in your ESG report. It can become part of the physical materials your customers interact with.
Using recycled ocean plastic in your furniture, interiors, displays, products, or installations gives you a tangible way to communicate circularity, waste reduction and responsible material sourcing.
They can see it. Touch it. Scan it. Trace it back to the coastline you helped protect.
FROM OCEAN WASTE
TO CIRCULAR MATERIAL
The future doesn't need more disposable materials.
It needs better ways to keep existing materials in circulation.
At Ecotribo, we're building a circular material system around the plastic already out there - recovering marine waste and transforming it into useful new materials.
We don't believe waste is waste.
We believe it's a resource waiting for another life.
