Recycled Plastic Pellets: From UK Recovered Marine Plastics

Fishing gear and marine plastic recovered and recycled in the UK, traceable from port to pellet and embedded with impact. For creating products for change.

1. Traceable Impact

We track the recovery and source location of every kg of fishing gear in our recycling stream, tracing it from port, to pellet, to product.

2. Performance

Proven across a broad range of manufacturing applications, driven by exceptional polymer purity from a patented filtration process.

3. Circular

We support partner brands to enable circularity across multiple lifecycles, with takeback schemes and closed-loop end-of-life recycling.

Made in the UK

All of our marine plastic is recovered and reprocessed entirely within the UK, through an innovative, energy-efficient process.

Our Polymers

High-performance Recycled Polypropylene (rPP), rHDPE and Nylon (rPA6) Pellets.

Polypropylene

Lightweight and durable, common in ropes, bait bags and mooring lines. In recycled form, a versatile plastic suited to a broad range of consumer goods through injection moulding.

High Density Polyethylene

Tough and versatile, often found in trawl nets, ropes and containers. Its impact and chemical resistance suit extrusion, blow moulding, rotomoulding and injection moulding.

Nylon (in development)

An engineering plastic valued for high tensile strength and flexibility, common in monofilament nets and lines. Abrasion resistance makes it ideal for precision parts.

Proven process and credentials

UK recovery, fully documented

Our entire recycling process takes place within the UK, minimising the carbon footprint of our operations and ensuring full traceability. All input materials are sourced from UK harbours and coastline, intercepting end-of-life fishing gear before it enters landfill and recovering reported ghost gear in Cornwall and the South West.

Working with Waterhaul's ocean plastic has added another exciting sustainable option for us. The flow rate is comparable to virgin-grade plastics and the pellet quality is remarkably uniform. It offers both performance and purpose.

The material supplied by Waterhaul has always been to a good standard, free of contaminants and fit for purpose. Processing-wise it's very similar to a virgin material, and many products do not need the higher specifications of virgin material.

Although this material is of a reprocessed nature, from an injection moulding point of view it holds many of the characteristics of a virgin-grade material in terms of flow rate, and is always consistent throughout.

Material FAQ's

We offer the broadest range of fishing gear, rope and marine plastic recycling capabilities currently available within the UK, including all forms of fishing nets, a broad range of ropes and lines, nylon and monofilament netting, hard marine plastics, bait bags and even end-of-life sails.

Plastic pellets, also known as nurdles or resin pellets, are small granules used as the raw material in plastic production. They are melted and moulded into items ranging from sunglasses to automotive parts. In 2024, after scaling our recycling process, we launched Traceable Marine Plastic to make our pellets commercially available to other brands.

Traceable pellets are produced with the source and recovery of every kilogram documented, so they can be tracked throughout the supply chain. This ensures transparency and accountability, helping companies verify the origin of the material and demonstrate it was sourced responsibly.

Using recycled materials reduces demand for virgin plastics, conserves resources and decreases greenhouse gas emissions, while diverting plastic waste from landfills and oceans. With Traceable Marine Plastic specifically, you can also account for exactly where your material was recovered.

Recycling involves collecting and sorting the plastic waste, cleaning and shredding it into small pieces, then melting and reforming these into new pellets, which can be reintroduced into manufacturing to create new products.

Plastic pellets are used across packaging, automotive, construction, electronics and consumer goods, from containers and bottles to dashboards, piping, insulation and household items.
