This past weekend riders set out from Corrour Station House on Further Elements, a 700km route pieced together by event creator Camille McMillan. In the end, it was Alex McCormack continuing his remarkable year of racing, as the first rider back to Corrour in just over 38 hours.

Discarded fishing nets are considered one of the most harmful forms of ocean plastic pollution. When abandoned or lost at sea, they can entangle marine life, harm coral and seabed habitats, and break down into microplastics. Given that there is currently no real, viable alternative to plastic-based fishing nets, the solution must come at the point before old nets reach the ocean. Manuel Sigren, Global Sourcing Manager at Bureo Inc tells us how the company turns discarded fishing nets into recycled NetPlus material, helping protect oceans while empowering small fishing communities.

Introducing Pertex NetPlus fabrics. Lightweight high-performance fabrics created from recycled fishing nets. Our partner Bureo Inc works directly with fishing communities across South America, collecting end-of-life fishing nets and recycling them into NetPlus material. We take this material, spin to yarn and weave into Pertex fabrics that match the performance of those made from virgin material. Pertex NetPlus fabrics support cleaner communities and oceans by diverting an existing waste stream, discarded fishing nets, the most harmful form of marine plastic pollution, whilst also reducing the need to extract fossil fuels. Pertex NetPlus fabrics: positive impacts without performance compromise.

We're going to be at PERFORMANCE DAYS Munich, 23-24 October. Come and join us to see the latest Pertex fabric innovations.
