My mission is to RESCUE WETSUITS from LANDFILL and transform the material into bags.
I work with local communities, surf schools, schools, yacht clubs and outdoor water sports centres to collect their WETSUIT WASTE.
Rab
Collects: Down clothing
You probably have one: a sleeping bag, down jacket, maybe your duvet or pillow is down filled. If not, you've certainly come across a down filled item. Down has been used as an insulation filling for generations. It's kept people warm at night, and explorers alive in the coldest conditions.
But what happens to it all once you're done? Where does it go?
We've built a down collection site in Rab's UK Headquarters in Alfreton, Derbyshire. Here we're collecting worn-out down products like old down duvets, pillows, jackets, sleeping bags and more, before giving this valuable material a new lease of life.

Scavenger
Collects: Climbing ropes and hardware
As a society we've learnt to design and manufacture amazing products and materials at a mind-blowing rate. We love having the latest bit of tech and equipment but without convenient systems in place that enable reuse or recycling often many of the things we throw away still have plenty of life left.
At Scavenger our passion lies in exploring ways to reuse these materials to their full potential. We also want to help to create systems which allow for easy recycling and redistribution of material to reduce waste.
All our products are designed and made in Sheffield, UK.
