From problem to possibility
A better end for hard-to-recycle marine materials.
Old ropes and fishing nets are complex, labour-intensive materials. Dekmar has built the knowledge, process and determination needed to separate, recover and reintroduce them into the supply chain.
From collection and manual deconstruction through shredding and pelletising, the material stays in the UK and is given a practical new purpose.
