May 28, 2024 - Sustainability is on the agenda and we see that trade associations and salmon producing companies are on the path to calculating and publishing their carbon footprints. To support this salmon farming process, Garware Technical Fibres has created Renew Ropes: the first rope made from 100 percent recycled materials, the use of which leads to a 50 percent reduction in the carbon footprint.

"The introduction of 100 percent recycled ends shows our commitment to the Clean Production Agreement (CPA), circularity and the reduction of plastic waste, contributing to sustainability throughout the life cycle of the products. In addition, it has exhaustive quality control of its raw materials: 100 percent reprocessed copolymers so that it meets the required quality," comments Marcos Jofré, Business Associate Garware Technical Fibres Chile.

The company recently developed this 100 percent recycled product, which meets the need to be more sustainable, while maintaining its quality standard. The properties it equates are: useful life, density, weight, resistance to traction, fatigue and abrasion. Its use is wide: maritime, sports, fishing and aquaculture; available in three and eight strands.
Plastic waste takes thousands of years to decompose, "by manufacturing Renew Ropes with 100 percent recycled material, we ensure that the waste is used in a final application, along with reducing the need to produce new material, and this rope can also be used again. The Norwegian market is already being supplied with a good reception and we hope that Chile follows this trend," says Jofré
X2 Aqua Neo: high-performance ropes that is ideal for exposed centres
For its part, X2 Aqua Neo has high resistance at a smaller diameter, low elongation, and is lighter. "The quality of the fiber is such that with smaller diameters, it manages to deliver higher resistance than other anchor ropes. It also presents great resistance to cyclic loading stress, with a very good result, measured under the OCIMF standard (of the international marine forum of oil companies), with an excellent fatigue life over tension. Our tensile fatigue test (TCLL) is higher fatigue than common ropes. In addition, it is quick to handle, with lower installation costs and also in anchoring items, easy to splice, it reduces the load on the anchoring system, due to its lower drag and weight," says Jofré
Both have Norwegian Standard 9415 (NS9415) certifications, which confirms that it works technically and OCIMF standard. Since aquaculture centres use a large volume of ropes - for all types of applications - these occupy an important place on the agenda. "Now offering a rope made of recycled raw materials, such as renew ropes, which reduce the carbon footprint by 50 percent, is a contribution to the clients' sustainability strategy," emphasises Jofré.
It should be noted that Prodalam is the one that distributes ropes for the aquaculture industry in Chile, through a strategic alliance for a decade. "We support the development of this Garware line, with large and small ropes at good costs and with a large stock availability for salmon production regions," says Alberto Pino, aquaculture manager at Prodalam.
