Recycled PP – Fishing Gear (Yarn Grade)

Recycled PP pellets made from end-of-life fishing ropes for yarn production. This yarn grade is a pellet feedstock, not finished polypropylene yarn.

Ocean Material works with you and the partner facility to align the material selection, qualification and sourcing with the yarn you intend to produce. Technical data sheets, detailed specifications and supporting documentation are available on request.

Specifications

A dedicated PP pellet grade for yarn production. No MFI value is specified here; the MFI values of the standard PP types do not apply automatically. Share the required yarn specification and processing requirements so that the relevant grade details and test conditions can be reviewed in the corresponding TDS.

Applications

Pellet feedstock for polypropylene yarn production. Tell us the intended yarn construction, linear density, processing requirements and end use so we can coordinate a grade enquiry with the partner facility.

Origin

Countries of origin: China, Taiwan. The PP feedstock comes from end-of-life fishing ropes. These ropes 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 ropes as a recycled PP 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.

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 ropes?

Fishing ropes 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 ropes 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?

Pellets for yarn production; no published MFI

Which applications can be considered?

Pellet feedstock for polypropylene yarn production. Tell us the intended yarn construction, linear density, processing requirements and end use so we can coordinate a grade enquiry with the partner facility.

What colour is supplied?

Natural. Confirm the required appearance through sample evaluation.

How can I request samples and technical documents?

Technical data sheets, detailed specifications and supporting documentation are available on request. Use the material inquiry button with your application, specification, quantity and delivery destination. Sampling conditions are set out in Ordering & Lead Time.
