Fishing Net Material: From Deep-Sea Debris to Dining Table Delight

Smart Susans Made from Recycled Fishing Nets: A Sustainable Spin Class  

Discarded fishing nets are one of the most harmful forms of plastic pollution in our oceans. These abandoned traps, AKA “ghost nets” can destroy the marine ecosystem: snaring sea creatures, damaging coral reefs, and adding to the monumental problem of ocean plastic. 

But thanks to companies who are dedicated to tackling plastic pollution, fishing nets are getting a second life. Using recycled raw materials from discarded nets utilizes existing waste, reduces the need for virgin plastic, and prevents harmful plastic pollution from entering the world’s oceans. The process goes a little something like this: 

• Rescue & Reclaim: Ghost nets are fished out of the ocean, saving marine life and reducing pollution. 

• Clean & Crush: The nets are cleaned, shredded, and processed into durable, high-quality  base material. 

• Mold & Makeover: The recycled material is used to create new products, including our SMART SUSANS, using bespoke molds designed expressly for us. 

SMART SUSANS are not just about keeping your soy sauce accessible on sushi night. Our eco-friendly multi-taskers are made in four different sustainable fabrications, including recycled fishing nets. Abandoned nets that once menaced marine life and threatened the health of our oceans are now being transformed into sleek, stylish, and sustainable SMART SUSANS. 

And honestly? We’re hooked.

• Conversation Starter: “Oh, this old thing? It used to be a rogue fishing net in the Pacific. Now look: a gorgeous spinner for our tapas!” Instant dinner party bragging rights and maybe even a discussion about our oceans…
