SUSTAINABILITY

Less waste in the ocean. Lower emissions.

Since 2011, we have measured and documented everything we collect. Here are the numbers – and what they mean for the climate.

What does it mean for the climate?

I 2025 ble 8.042 av 10.298 innsamlede tonn materialgjenvunnet. Det er 78% av alt redskapet vi tok imot.

Klimabesparelse i 2025

45.000 tons CO₂-equivalents

equals

Oslo-London Flights

409.000 passangers, one way

Slik har vi regnet

Klimabesparelse: 8 042 tonn materialgjenvunnet × 5,6 kg CO₂-ekv. spart per kilo = ca. 45 000 tonn CO₂-ekv.

Flyreiser: én passasjer Oslo–London slipper ut ca. 110 kg CO₂ (kilde: SAS' utslippskalkulator). 45 000 tonn ÷ 110 kg = ca. 409 000 flyreiser.

Tallene gjelder 2025 og oppdateres hvert år. (Kilde: Nofir LCA 2023).

What does it mean for the climate?

Every kilo of equipment that is recycled replaces virgin plastic that would otherwise have to be produced. Since 2011, Nofir's collection efforts have delivered significant climate benefits:

Total climate savings

326.000 tons CO₂-equivalents

equals

Oslo-London Flights

2.970.000 passangers, one way

Calculated based on Nofir's life cycle assessments (2015 and 2023). See the reports at the bottom of the page.

Positive effects of

Material recycling

Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

Negative effects of

Energy recovery

Increase in greenhouse gas emissions

Where do the benefits come from?

Material recycling

CO₂-eqv. per kg equipment

- 0 kg

Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

Sending discarded equipment to Nofir for recycling saves an average of 5.6 kg of CO₂ equivalent per kg of equipment.

Energy recovery

CO₂-eqv. per kg equipment

+ 0 kg

Increase in greenhouse gas emissions

Sending discarded equipment for incineration with energy recovery increases greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 8.1 kg of CO₂ equivalent per kg of equipment.

Where do the benefits come from?

Materialgjenvinning gir den største klimagevinsten. Det som ikke kan resirkuleres, går til energigjenvinning hos våre partnere, slik at også restene blir til nytte

Tallene viser klimaeffekten per kilo, hentet fra livsløpsanalysen vår (LCA 2023).

Material recycling

2,51 kg

CO₂-eqv. per kg equipment

Lavere klimagassutslipp

Innsamling, demontering og materialgjenvinning av kasserte fiskeredskaper gir en beregnet klimapåvirkning på 2,51 kg CO₂-ekvivalenter per kg redskap. Beregningen inkluderer transport og øvrige prosesser innenfor analysens systemgrenser.

Energy recovery

8,10 kg

CO₂-eqv. per kg equipment

Høyere klimagassutslipp

Dersom de kasserte fiskeredskapene i stedet går til energigjenvinning, og tilsvarende nye råmaterialer må produseres, gir dette en beregnet klimapåvirkning på 8,10 kg CO₂-ekvivalenter per kg redskap.

Besparelse per kilo materiale

5,6 kg

CO₂-ekvivalenter

For hvert kilo kassert fiskeredskap som behandles gjennom Nofirs system for materialgjenvinning, viser livsløpsanalysen en beregnet klimabesparelse på omtrent 5,6 kg CO₂-ekvivalenter sammenlignet med forbrenning og produksjon av tilsvarende nye råmaterialer. Kilde: Nofir LCA 2023.
