Bureo is a company that addresses the issue of ocean plastic pollution by recycling discarded fishing nets into high-quality consumer products. Founded by three friends with a shared passion for the ocean, Bureo works with coastal communities in South America to collect and recycle nets, which are one of the most harmful forms of ocean plastic. The nets are transformed into a material called NetPlus, which is then used to create products such as skateboards, sunglasses, and outdoor gear. Bureo’s mission is to create a positive impact on the environment while raising awareness about the importance of recycling and sustainability.
