Bowls made from nets

Sustainable dog brand, Tangle, launched the Tangle Dog Bowl, crafted out of end of life fishing nets, on the 1st of July. The brand is on a mission to put an end to ghost nets, lost or abandoned fishing nets, from entering our oceans and killing marine life through a range of high-end sustainable dog accessories made from recycled fishing nets in the UK.

Named the silent killer of our seas, nearly half of the plastic in the ocean comes from ghost fishing nets that have been discarded in the sea. These nets are often made from harsh plastics that take centuries to degrade and are killing millions of marine species every year.
