Shredder For Net & Rope

One of the biggest marine ecology issues we face is often hidden in the depths of our oceans but, rest assured, i2Europe has a rope shredding solution to tackle the major source of marine pollution caused by submerged fishing nets.

Our net and rope shredding machine is a rotary cutter, which makes the recycling of ropes, nets, wires and similar materials a real breeze. Snagged and damaged nets, which have been left out at sea because there was no means of recycling them, can now cease to be ‘ghost nets’ that entrap and kill thousands of marine creatures each year.

Our rope shredding machine effectively processes nets, ropes and fishing lines, whether they are landed back in the harbour, or washed up on our beaches. Traditionally, recycling these materials has been difficult, due to the mix of materials in their composition.

Now, with our machine, these materials can be turned into appealing ‘green’ consumer goods and accessories, whether they become clothing, footwear, homewares, carpets or recreational products. You can literally sell new fashion gear that started life as fishing gear.

Examples of items that can be produced using our rope shredding machine include:

sunglasses – derived from 100% recycled and recyclable nylon fishing nets
bracelets, necklaces, keychains and dog leashes – made from nylon line and net
cycling gear – made from recycled nets that are regenerated into polyester yarn
clothing such as socks – made using 100% regenerated polyamide (nylon)
waterproof jackets, pants and back packs – made 100% from recycled polyamide

A well-known sportswear brand claims 50% of all its swimwear is made from recycled material and 76% of its pool collection incorporates recycled polyamide (nylon). Your manufacturing unit could follow suit and get in the swim of designing and making fashion and homewear items made from recycled nets and lines, simply by equipping yourself with our rope shredding machine.
