What to do with your old outdoor gear
A problem worth solving
We all have gear that for one reason or another, we’ve decided is too far gone to keep or repair. But that doesn’t mean its life cycle need come to an end - most kit can be reused, upcycled, or recycled, keeping those plastic based fabrics out of the bin and in circulation! A win for everyone.
