RECYCLING FISHING GEAR

Plastic fishing nets.

A plastic recycling initiative in Pembrokeshire aims to cut marine plastic pollution by providing free disposal of plastic fishing gear.

The Recycle Môr bins at Saundersfoot, Tenby, Porthgain and Lower Town in Fishguard will collect end of life fishing gear for sorting and recycling.

If successful, the five-month pilot project will be expanded, with the waste collected being used to make products such as sunglasses, litter pickers and knives.
