Nofir arranges transport and takes care of all documentation for discarded fishing and fish farming equipments.
Dismantling
Discarded equipment is dismantled and ends up as raw material for the recycling industry, where it’s used in a wide variety of products.
Dokumentasjon
We provide full traceability all the way from the fish farmer to the new material, along with detailed environmental reports and supporting documentation.
Recycling
Raw materials are sent to our recycling partners to create a base (filaments or granules) for brand new products.
Re-use
When possible, the materials are re-used to create new products such as sports nets. Non-recyclable fractions are sent for energy recovery.
New products
Discarded equipment can be recycled into plastic granules that can be used in the production of garden furniture, automotive parts and much more.

What can be made of nets?
Pellets
Discarded fishing equipment can be given new life through recycling. When old fishing nets, ropes, and other plastic-based equipment are collected by Nofir, they are sorted, cleaned, and processed into plastic granulate—small plastic pellets that serve as raw material for new production. This granulate can then be used to manufacture a wide range of new products, such as furnitures, automotive parts, plastic pipes, and even packaging.
På denne måten reduserer vi behovet for ny plast, kutter utslipp og gir brukt redskap en ny og bærekraftig funksjon.
Filaments
Nylon from discarded fishing nets is collected and sent to Aquafil — a leading player in sustainable textile production. Here, the material undergoes an advanced recycling process in which it is broken down to its original chemical form and rebuilt as ECONYL® yarn. This is a 100% regenerated nylon yarn with the same quality as virgin nylon, but with a significantly lower environmental impact.
Products
Recycled nylon is used by over 2 500 brands around the world to make products such as:
Automotive parts
Furnitures
Carpets
Textiles
And plenty of other products!

Re-use
Whenever possible, the equipment is reused directly in the production of new products — for example, nets for golf, football, volleyball, handball, and more.
– Fun to take social responsibility
“Nofir has been important to us in developing tailored solutions for our greens and driving range — and reused fishing nets fit well with our environmental profile.”
