Bureo, the recycled skateboard startup that recently landed an investment from Patagonia, has shared this short clip, "Nets to Decks," outlining their approach to sustainable manufacturing. The company designs and makes skateboards in Chile through an initiative they launched called "Net Positiva" -- Chile's first-ever nationwide fishnet collection and recycling program. The system provides fishermen with environmentally safe disposal sites for old nets, and gives Bureo the materials they need to make the boards preferred by eco-minded carvers like Jack Johnson. Watch the vid above.
