When Is Waste Not Waste?

Upcycle_kit kicked off with one simple mission: keeping outdoor gear out of the bin and on the trails where it belongs. What started as a small project has exploded into a global community through the "Share & Repair Chat," proving that we don’t just use our kit—we’re actually pretty attached to it. It’s a two-way street; while Upcycle_kit offers tips on fixing gear and dodging the landfill, the community jumps in with their own genius hacks and circular sharing. Even when a piece of kit is truly "done," the conversation shifts to its "After Life"—stripping down the unfixable stuff into zips, cords, and buckles to be used all over again. 

Join Katy from Upcycle_kit to get stuck into the nitty-gritty of how this works, where you can get hands-on, rip into some unwanted kit, and see exactly how we can keep every little part in the loop.
