We are very excited to announce that Driftloop has joined as a partner of the ReSail platform by Clean Sailors.
ReSail allows sailors to search for and find local drop-off points and gives them the opportunity to upcycle a range of products such as sails, bags and sheets, so that once their time on the water has come to an end, they can help give them a new life and purpose.
Whilst most materials used for sailing are built to withstand some of the toughest conditions on our planet including UV light, saltwater and wind, they don’t last forever, and they all have a time limit on their initial use. Currently, for example, 97% of all sails end up in landfill.
Clean Sailors founder and sailor Holly Manvell, said ‘’We often forget that sails are in fact, highly engineered materials, built to last. We have a massive opportunity to help facilitate the reuse of existing end-of-life sail fabrics’’ said Holly.
At Driftloop, we want to make a change.
We re-purpose sails and other materials destined for landfill into durable, functional adventure gear for people who care about what they use and how it affects their planet.
From wetsuit changing bags to workshop aprons, all our products are handmade in Devon in our workshop and sold through our website at thedriftloop.com. We are also partnering up with other marine conscious organisations and businesses to collab on new product ranges and designs.
