WHY IS REDUCING PLASTIC WASTE SO IMPORTANT?

A staggering 18 billion pounds of plastic waste enter our waterways each year.

Decades of a wasteful, head in the sand mentality means there is now literally an ocean of plastic.

Discarded fishing nets make up a significant portion of this plastic waste - estimated at 10% - and they're also considered to be four times more harmful that all other forms of plastic pollution.

Bureo's NetPlus program provides a tangible, sustainable solution to prevent these harmful discarded fishing nets from entering our oceans.

Among others such as Patagonia and HumanScale, industry leading companies can incorporated Bureo's recycled fishing nets into their supply chains, creating a sustainable solution to the global plastic waste problem.

IMPACT OF BUREO'S NETPLUS RECYCLED FISHING NET PROGRAM

Creating a positive impact since 2013, over 185,000kg of NetPlus materials have been collected to date from 26 participating communities in Chile.

Aligned with end of life incentives, these collections have financed seven community projects supporting sustainable development in coastal communities.

In addition, Bureo provides contributions to non-profit partners through the 1% For The Planet Network, and remains actively involved in the global fight against plastic pollution.

 

FUTURES FINS ALPHA RANGE ARE THE FIRST SURFBOARD FINS MADE FROM BUREO'S RECYCLED FISHING NETS

Made in Southern California, the Futures Fins Alpha surfboard fins range are now made by incorporating Bureo’s NetPlus recycled fishing nets with Futures’ compound 6 Carbon and Air infused technology.

NetPlus material is sourced from Bureo’s fishing net recycling program in Chile, which provides collection points to keep plastic fishing nets out of our oceans.

Preventing harmful materials from entering the ocean, the Bureo NetPlus program protects wildlife and supports local fishing communities through financial incentives.

Our Alpha product line is molded carbon fiber made in Huntington Beach, California that delivers every bit of performance you’d expect from an upgrade fin at a Balanced Ride Number. Incredibly lightweight & resilient, Alpha is the first of its kind; created using one-of-a-kind materials and new technologies developed by Futures Fins.

CONCLUSION

Futures Fins Alpha Range are already an awesome option for your favourite surfboard. 

Now made with Bureo's NetPlus recycled fishing nets, they not only look good and feel good but now do good.

That's another reason why we like Futures Fins.
