A Matter of Fabrics
NetPlus material is 100% recycled fishing net, 100% post-consumer recycled, and 100% traceable. Through the NetPlus recycling program, discarded nets are sourced directly from fishing communities before they can damage marine ecosystems. Bureo, the company behind NetPlus, is on a mission to end fishing net pollution through community empowerment. Protecting our oceans and providing a positive, end-of-life solution.
Why We Use It
Fishing net pollution is a global problem that requires greater management and infrastructure. It’s widely considered one of the most harmful forms of ocean plastic pollution.
NetPlus supports cleaner coastal and marine ecosystems, and the material is 100% traceable, meaning that discarded nets are tracked from their original source through to the recycled NetPlus material. Replacing virgin plastic with NetPlus in our boardshorts was a no-brainer, fully aligned to the Passenger ethos.
Where You'll Find It
Its material properties mirror those of virgin plastics, meaning there is no sacrifice in durability, performance, or longevity when using NetPlus 100% post-consumer recycled nylon as the base material in our men’s boardshorts.
As we continue to evolve our Active Outdoor range, NetPlus is helping us tread a little lighter, without compromise.
