Description

This project is a proposed upcycling business model design using waste fishing nets collected from the local fishing industry.

Ghost gear, a global marine pollutant, is a term used to describe any fishing equipment, such as nets, pots, lines, and hooks, that have been abandoned, lost, or discarded into the ocean.

It can continue to catch marine animals indiscriminately, causing ghost fishing and posing a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and wildlife.

As gill net is proven as the most harmful gear to the ecosystem, it will be the target of the project.

This business model will explain the upcycling details and how it benefits society.
