Launch of Nets Up Model

     In collaboration with SCGC and network partners, The Youth Fund launched the Nets Up Model. This initiative focused on upcycling discarded nets into valuable marine materials, promoting a circular economy and sustainability in marine conservation

​

     Theyouthfund , a stalwart advocate for environmental preservation, emphasized the importance of repurposing unused fishing nets. The project's primary objective is to transform these discarded nets into valuable Marine Materials. These rejuvenated materials, born from groundbreaking recycling innovations, will find new life in industries like textiles, turning the unwanted nets into fabric for upcycled products. Such initiatives not only provide fresh avenues for brand owners and environmentally-conscious consumers but also highlight the importance of maximizing resource use.
