Agnes Cabullos, a volunteer from Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance, cuts trawling netting so it can be rolled into piles and then lifted into huge bags and then recycled at Terminal 91 in Seattle Tuesday, September 6, 2022. The insurance company is the insurance broker for American Seafoods. American Seafoods partner with a local, woman-owned start up, Net Your Problem, and many volunteers at Terminal 91 Tuesday for the first time to recycle midwater trawling nets. All of the recovered materials are kept out of landfills and are given new life. A former North Pacific fisheries observer and current UW research scientist, Nicole Baker, launched Net Your Problem to divert plastic waste and nets from the fishing industry out of ocean and landfills. The nets are about four to five years old and can no longer be used to catch pollock. Old nets are often just stored and sometimes sent to Europe to be recycled. This is the first year American Seafoods is doing the recycling work themselves. They recovered 19,000 lbs. of plastics, all of which will go on to additional products/uses. A rough breakdown of the plastics they recovered is polypropylene (60%), nylon (19%), high density polyethylene (HDPE, 8%), mixed materials (13%). The material will be given to someone who will turn all of the former nets into different products. Tim Fitzgerald, chief sustainability officer and public affairs with American Seafoods, said that the company could either pay to store the trawling nets, throw them away or recycle them. They chose to recycle. 221513
