Envalior uses discarded fishing nets to produce the recycle-based polyamide Akulon RePurposed. We use the material recovered from the fishing nets collected along the coastlines of India. Before being compounded, the fishing nets are treated and upcycled using local labor.
With this new product line Envalior contributes to cleaner oceans. Instead of disposing discarded fishing nets on the beach or in the sea, the fishing nets are collected for recycling purposes. The product also has an extended positive social impact in terms of job creation, along with the development of new skills and knowledge of people working in the supply chain (i.e. collecting, sorting, cleaning and processing fishing nets).The end product is a glass fiber reinforced recycle-based polyamide with excellent functional properties.
Akulon RePurposed is used in high-end applications in the sports and leisure segment, such as for surfboard accessories. It can also be used in a wide variety of other applications, including furniture and industrial applications.
