Recycling is the process whereby waste materials are broken down and regenerated into an end product which can be reused. We use a recycled material called ECONYL Regenerated Nylon (a material made from nylon waste). Upcycling is the process whereby existing materials are repurposed to make a new product. We use upcycled materials, such as yacht sail and canvas, for the outer layer of our gear and upcycled advertising banner for the internal of our gear.
