Meet The Team.
Meet Rob.
Rob is a multi-award winning innovator renowned for pioneering the global circular economy by developing a solution to the marine plastic litter crisis by creating products from ALDFG and end-of-life fishing gear collected through his company's various recycling schemes, which support the interest of multiple stakeholders from small netmakers, charities, commercial enterprise and governmental departments across the UK.
Aged 3- Rob enjoyed the very first snorkle that enthralled him for life; eventually his passion for the sea, diving and marine protection lead him to set up Fathom's Free- a charity specialising in the underwater recovery of marine plastic and ghost gear using divers.
Today, Rob has been a key contributor and speaker at various national and international policy-informing workshops, local council meetings/briefing governmental agencies, commercial enterprises, university seminars, consultancy firms, podcasts, television and more, always concerning the fields of plastic pollution, marine conservation, recycling of marine waste, the circular economy, prevention of plastic waste, port reception facilities, extended producer responsibility and innovation in business.
