Pay in 3 on orders over £50
Made in the U.K from recycled ghost fishing gear collected on the coastlineA set of 2 coasters made from recycled fishing gear retrieved on the coastline around England and Wales - mostly Cornwall and Devon
Just like our plaNET Travel Mugs, the marbling that the fishing gear gives them is completely unique to each piece
Fishing net and rope is the most deadly of ocean plastics as it continues to haunt the sea for centuries - catching and entangling anything in its path from smaller fish to larger marine mammals like seals, dolphins and whales
Sip your brew whilst creating demand for deadly plastic to be removed from the ocean

The deadly problem with ghost fishing gear
The Process ♺
From coastline to coaster...
Recover
Lost, abandoned or discarded fishing gear is collected along the coastline of England and Wales
Clean & Shred
This fishing gear is then deconstructed and sorted into different polymer types, cleaned and finally, shredded
Pelletise
It's then melted and extruded into 100% recycled fishing net pellets used in the coasters
Ocean Plastic Collection FAQ
As part of our sustainability journey we strive to be as transparent as possible
Here you'll find some information and behind the scenes answers for our recycled fishing net products
Where are the nets collected?
100% of the fishing net and rope used in our plaNET travel mug is collected along the Cornish coastline.
The fishing net and rope for our soap dishes and coasters is collected in England and Wales, with the majority from Cornwall and some from Devon.
This is carried out by various marine conservation groups, our recycling Partners, and by us.
What type of plastic and fishing net are they made from?
Fishing gear is made from various types of plastics to give it it's durability, longevity and to suit different types of fishing.
This is just one of the multiple major hurdles in being able to recycle this deadly material - identification.
The majority of fishing gear material is polypropylene, nylons or HDPE.
Currently we make our Ocean Plastic collection from polypropylene rope trawl nets.
We aim to utilise other various types of ocean plastic polymers from recycled fishing gear in more of our products in the future.
Where are your Ocean Plastic products made?
All of our Ocean Plastic collection's products are proudly made in the U.K. from net and rope retrieved in the U.K.
Our plaNET travel mug is made in a local factory in Cornwall. Our soap dishes and coasters are made by our manufacturing Partners in the north of England.
What % of your Ocean Plastic collection is recycled?
plaNET mugs:
The marbled outer of our plaNET travel mug is 100% recycled using ghost fishing gear.
Recycling fishing net and rope is an extremely hard, innovative and novel process - all the way from coastline to product it has major challenges.
For us to use recycled fishing gear on the inner part and in contact with food and drink, E.U and U.K regulation has to be updated. This update was started in early 2022 and is still ongoing.
Our manufacturers have already met the standards needed for the recycled net to be used in contact with food and drink in our plaNET mugs - we're just waiting on the regulation to be updated.
We’ll be at the forefront as soon as this changes. In the meantime, the inner is food and drink safe virgin Polypropylene.
The entire mug is 100% recyclable at the end of its life (minus the 2 small leakproof bands inside the lid).
Soap dishes & coasters:
Our soap dishes and coasters are 100% recycled. 85-90% from recycled fishing gear and the other 10-15% from post consumer recycled plastic waste - again, otherwise likely to end up in landfill, or if not retrieved, lost in the ocean forever.
A small amount of non fishing gear recycled plastic is needed due to how the soap dishes and coasters are made and how different polymers react during the manufacturing process.
What do I do if I come across Ghost Fishing Gear?
- If any animals are in danger:
Please immediately contact British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) here.
- If you come across ghost fishing gear anywhere in the U.K, whether in the sea or on the coastline:
Please click here and head to the Neptune's Pirates 'Report Ghost Gear' form or email them with as much information at: dive@paulwatsonfoundation.uk.
They're a fantastic U.K. marine conservation charity on a mission to end the destruction of habitats and the illegal killing of marine wildlife around the U.K's coastline and across the ocean, and can help retrieve it.
Many thanks to Luke at Fathoms Free / Neptune's Pirates, and Molly and Susan at BDLMR.

Customer Reviews
Really impressed with these, such a good idea too
These coasters not only look beautiful, but are also making a wonderful impact on our planet. Made from ghost fishing nets, they help to keep our oceans clean. Definitely something we should all strive to do!
I just love this whole part of wild and sea using fishing net and rope to make useable products. And these are such a great everyday product. Which help with oceans, and protects your table from marks! Colours are gorgeous.
Absolutely love these coasters, beautiful colours and textures. I Love the idea they have been recycled from fishing nets to help stop our marine life becoming entangled in deadly nets.
