REcycle

The Rig Recycle program is an Australian-first program that collects selected recreational fishing and packaging items and diverts them from landfill through an innovative repair, reuse and recycle framework. 1. Take your recreational fishing items to a Rig Recycle station near you 2. The items get collected, audited and entered into the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI) Database 3. The items are either repaired for reuse or recycled Data from the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI) Database shows that fishing line is one of the the top 10 items found during clean-up events, with over half a million metres removed so far. That’s an average of 125m of line from every clean-up event around the country!
