At Wise Angler, plastic-free fishing isn’t just an idea — it’s our daily practice. While many global tackle brands still rely on cheap, single-use plastic to cut costs and boost profits, we’ve built our business to protect oceans and future generations.
Why Plastic-Free Fishing Is the Future
Plastic-free fishing is critical in the fight against ocean pollution. Every year, the fishing industry contributes hundreds of thousands of tons of plastic waste — from packaging to mailers to discarded gear. This waste pollutes coastlines, kills marine life, and breaks down into microplastics that poison our food chain.
That’s why Wise Angler has eliminated single-use plastic from our packaging and shipping. We’re proving that performance and sustainability can coexist — and that circular solutions are not only viable but vital.
Certified Compostable Packaging
Our packaging is made from renewable plant-based materials like sugarcane and cornstarch, certified under AS 4736, DIN, and OK Compost standards. These materials are home and commercially compostable, meaning they return to the earth instead of polluting it.
Every product is delivered in plastic-free mailers, avoiding shrink wrap, bubble wrap, and poly bags — all while still protecting your gear.
The Real Environmental Impact
Wise Angler has eliminated over 2 million single-use plastic packages and mailers from entering the ocean each year. That’s not just a win for the planet — it’s a measurable step toward reducing emissions.
-
Each item saved prevents ~5g of CO₂
-
That equals 10,000 kg (10 metric tons) of CO₂ annually
-
It’s the same as:
-
Planting 250 trees for 10 years
-
Powering 1,000 homes for a month
-
Avoiding 100,000 km of car travel
-
All by choosing plastic-free fishing and circular thinking.
More Than Packaging: A Philosophy
Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop at packaging. Wise Angler supports responsible fishing practices — including circle hook use, catch-and-release techniques, and compliance with regional regulations.
We also partner with LegaSea to protect fish stocks and help educate the fishing community on how to fish more responsibly.
Join the Movement Toward Plastic-Free Fishing
If we want the next generation to experience the thrill of fishing, we need to protect the waters we fish in. At Wise Angler, every hook, swivel, and product ships with purpose — and without plastic.
Support plastic-free fishing by choosing brands that prioritize the environment over profit. Together, we can reduce waste, protect marine life, and reshape the future of recreational fishing.
