Marlow removes some mooring lines from range

Marlow has removed a selection of mooring lines from its range. This development comes from the release of the industry’s first rPET product, BLUE OCEAN® DOCKLINE in 2018, which was first showcased at the METSTRADE show.

The 100% recycled plastic bottle rope was intended to focus the industry on plastic use and to allow a sustainable choice to the public. This has since won accolades and recognition for the product’s sustainable attributes.

Reusing, repurposing and recycling are all areas of Marlow’s environmental policy, and the company aims to highlight the importance of these actions to help reduce marine plastic pollution.

“We have removed several of our mooring ropes from our range as we want to encourage people to make a conscious decision when it comes to purchasing their ropes,” says Paul Honess, Leisure Marine Director. “With the positive response from the industry after releasing our Blue Ocean Dockline in 2018, this was an obvious choice for us to make. We have plans to extend our Blue Ocean (rPET) product range further in 2020.”
