Bureo

Focused on scaling a radically transparent model to eliminate fishing net pollution; using disruptive innovation to inspire change and create tangible positive impacts. Bureo’s Net+Positiva program works together with fishermen to provide a positive solution for their end of life fishing gear, which Bureo transforms into highly recyclable and durable raw materials.

Creating a positive impact since 2013, over 185,000kg of NetPlus materials have been collected to date from 26 participating communities in Chile. Aligned with end of life incentives, these collections have financed seven community projects supporting sustainable development in coastal communities. Over 365,000 kg of NetPlus materials have been collected to date from 50 participating fisheries in South America.
