Rig Recycle

Community | Environmental

Rig Recycle is an Australian-first program (run by Tangaroa Blue Foundation) that collects recreational fishing waste and diverts it from landfill and the ocean through an innovative repair, reuse and recycle framework.

WHO IS RIG RECYCLE:  

It’s a pioneering project that brings together recreational fishers, cleanup volunteers, fishing retailers and suppliers, social enterprises, and community partners in a holistic, truly circular solution that addresses the current recycling gap.

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS?

Fishing is a great way to get out in nature. We’re helping fishers around Australia protect their fishing spots for the future, keeping waters clean, healthy and litter-free!
