FISHING NET RECOVERY
North America
The Problem
Most end-of-life fishing nets in the US get landfilled or cut away in the ocean. Why? It's costly to dispose of them properly due to lack of existing infrastructure. It's a huge reason for why fishing nets are the largest ocean plastic polluter.
The Solution
This Impac+ program provides the funds needed to incentivize collection and recycling of this gear that otherwise, without Impac+, is valueless or too costly to reclaim.
What We Like
End of life fishing gear in the US is not being mechanically recycled without this program. In fact, our partner is an amazing women-owned, small business working directly with two city governments (Unalaska, AK and Stonington, ME) to remove materials that have already been taken to city landfill sites.

NEAR SHORE CLEANUP
Bali, Indonesia
The Problem
Before raw recycled material (feedstock) is processed it needs to be cleaned. This cleaning process produces a large amount of dirty plastic discharge known as "Mud," which is oftentimes just taken to the nearest landfill.
The Solution
Our Indonesian collection partner generates 40 metric tonnes of "Mud" per month. Instead of considering it waste, they've discovered it's the perfect composition for producing bricks! Since these recycled bricks are more expensive than standard building bricks, this Impac+ program subsidizes expenses, making these bricks more competitive on the open market.
What We Like
Recycling is a dirty business and we love the creativity of our Indonesian partner. This industry is all about finding value in what was previously considered valueless and this program is the perfect example of that.
