The Net Regeneration Scheme (NRS) offers free recycling facilities for end-of-life fishing gear and marine plastic in a traceable and sustainable manner, an excellent alternative to sending gear to landfill, incineration or to it being abandoned at sea. By removing cost barriers, the scheme also supports fisherman to collect lost fishing gear and marine plastic waste whilst out at sea further supporting sustainability and clean ups within the fishing industry.
