It begins with
a fishing net
Nets and ropes are made to withstand a working life at sea. When that life ends, their mixed materials can make recycling difficult.
At our Scottish site, we deconstruct suitable nets and ropes, separate the materials, then shred and pelletise the recovered plastics for new uses.

The people
behind Dekmar
Founder Derek Wiseman’s background in fishing and lecturing led him to a new challenge: finding a practical use for end-of-life nets and ropes.
His father repaired nets by hand. That knowledge now helps the family business take them apart for recycling. Co-owner Marj looks after administration and finances, alongside the team carrying out the daily work of separation and production.
“My motivation is creating a legacy.”Derek Wiseman, founder
More about Derek’s background
Derek’s experience of the marine industry underpins the business. What began with dismantling a fishing net developed into a process for recovering polymers and creating new products.
