In a bid to provide a solution to this problem, the Spanish producer of environmentally friendly sunglasses SEA2SEE has launched a campaign to raise awareness among fishermen and provide recycling bins in Spanish ports for old nets, ropes and recovered plastic waste. The company's latest project is to design fins, which surfers position under their boards for added stability, from recycled fishing nets."We contacted SEA2SEE who agreed to supply us with some of the fishing nets they recovered. We then put these through a whole processing phase, which involves cleaning and grinding to separate the different types of plastic that make up the nets.
