A Recyclable Fish Nets Initiative – Philosofish in collaboration with Aquafil
Philosofish, a Greek company operating in the aquaculture industry, has set a new standard in the aquaculture industry by becoming the first company worldwide to utilize recycled nets for fish farming.
Thanks to Aquafil’s long-term experience in the production of ECONYL® recycled nylon, and Diopas, the company that produces nets from recycled material, this new collaboration towards a common initiative was born. It underlines everyone’s commitment towards greater environmental protection.
The new recycled nets, which use revolutionary technology, have already been installed at the Philosofish Ag. Serafeim’s structures and they will undergo a thorough assessment after remaining at sea. Specialized laboratories will evaluate the networks for any signs of damage, ensuring their durability and performance in real-world conditions.
A collaboration that establishes a new and positive change in the aquaculture sector, moving towards sustainable practices and ensuring consumers a high-quality product.
