Process
Nofir’s activity concentrates on looking and cooperating with companies, fishermen, fish farmers in Europe who needs a dispose of fishing equipment.
Since 2011-2015 we collected around 20 250 tons of fishing equipment from 4 continents: Europe, Africa, Asia and America.
Nofir organises transport for all of the collected equipment. Fishing nets are transported to one of our factory in Lithuania or in Turkey where all the material is dismantled and prepared for recycling.
We collect discarded material that has not been dismantled. In order to make the waste collected valuable, the equipment is dismantled into sorted fractions. Then we send it to the recycling factory.
Most of the material dismantled by Nofir is sent to Aquafil – recycling factory in Slovenia where all the fishing equipment is regenerated into ECONYL® yarn and used for new textile products.

After long process fishing nets turn into brand new products like:
- clothes (socks, bikini, shorts)
- carpets,
- furniture (hammocks, garden furniture):
- baskets for supermarkets etc
