Recycled PA6 – Fishing Nets (Natural)

Natural-colour recycled PA6 (nylon 6) pellets made from end-of-life fishing nets, with MFI 22. This is the unreinforced Natural grade.

Ocean Material helps you assess the material against your application, coordinate qualification with the partner facility, and clarify procurement requirements. Technical data sheets, detailed specifications and supporting documentation are available on request.

Specifications

Material: recycled PA6 (nylon 6).

Colour: Natural.

MFI: 22.

The MFI test conditions and further technical details must be checked in the corresponding TDS. No glass-fibre reinforcement is specified for this Natural grade.

Applications

For projects evaluating recycled nylon 6 for injection-moulded or extruded components, including industrial goods and engineering parts. Share your processing method and finished-product requirements so we can coordinate grade selection and qualification.

Origin

Countries of origin: China, Taiwan. The PA6 feedstock comes from end-of-life fishing nets. These nets have been used in fishing, reached the end of their useful life, and are collected for recycling. This is post-consumer feedstock rather than manufacturing scrap; it does not imply that the material consists of lost ghost gear recovered from the ocean.

Sustainability & Impact

Using recovered fishing nets as a recycled PA6 feedstock supports material recovery after the gear's service life. The environmental performance of a specific grade depends on its production and supply chain; a general origin description is not a quantified impact claim.

Quality & Traceability

Material qualification should use the TDS and the origin, quality and traceability information relevant to the selected grade and partner facility. Ocean Material helps coordinate that review. Certification scope and available documentation must be checked for the specific grade; they are not automatically identical across these products.

Source Certification: Source Certified. Supporting origin documentation is reviewed for the selected material and supply.

Existing certification records list Global Recycling Standard. The applicable certificate, covered material and supply scope must be checked for the selected order; this is not blanket coverage for every grade or origin.

Compliance: REACH information is available on request for review against the intended material and market. REACH is a regulatory framework, not a product certificate.

Carbon Footprint & LCA

Life cycle assessments (LCAs) are available for selected materials and production sites within our partner network. Availability and scope vary by material grade, production location and supply chain.

Looking to assess the carbon footprint of your material choice? Tell us about your application, performance requirements and sourcing needs. We will review the available environmental data with our partners and help identify suitable material options for your project.

FAQ

What are end-of-life fishing nets?

Fishing nets that have reached the end of their useful working life and are collected for recycling. They are not automatically lost or abandoned ghost gear.

What does post-consumer mean here?

The nets were used in fishing before recovery. This describes the feedstock history, not a guarantee that every component of the final material is recycled.

Which grade is this?

Unreinforced Natural; MFI 22

Which applications can be considered?

For projects evaluating recycled nylon 6 for injection-moulded or extruded components, including industrial goods and engineering parts. Share your processing method and finished-product requirements so we can coordinate grade selection and qualification.

What colour is supplied?

Natural. Confirm the required appearance through sample evaluation.

How can I request samples and technical documents?
