Bureo Skateboards

At Bureo we work to keep the most harmful form of plastic pollution, fishing nets, from entering our oceans. We understand that, in many cases, the problem is not the fishermen but the lack of infrastructure available for when the nets meet their end-of-use. Though our focus is narrow, it’s a major piece in the puzzle to solve the plastic pollution crisis: the need for a circular economy to prevent waste from entering our oceans in the first place. We hope to extend our impact through educating communities and companies about ways to collectively work together to turn off the plastic tap.

Discarded fishing nets make up an estimated 10% of plastic in the ocean; 4x more harmful than all other forms of plastic pollution; so far the material collected is 185,028kg since 2013
