Nofir (Norway)
Nofir AS is a leading company collecting discarded equipment from fishing and fish farming around the world. The company has built an international, circular-economy network that creates value while combating a long-standing threat to marine life and the environment. Since 2011 Nofir has collected 41 634 tons of material. Collected nets are transported to Nofir's factories where they are prepared for recycling. After proper treatment most of material is sent for recycling to Aquafil in Slovenia to make ECONYL® yarn - a base for brand new products. Recycling fishing and fish farming equipment helps not only to save raw materials necessary to create new products but also has a positive impact on the environment by reducing CO2 in the atmosphere and oil equivalent.
