Landfill to Line-Up
Welcome, to hold. Our mission is to revolutionise the surfboard industry by transforming fibreglass waste into high-performance surfboard fins, reducing landfill and promoting a cleaner, greener marine industry.
Every year, between 150 to 300 metric tons of fibreglass waste from surfboard production ends up in landfills globally. During production, as much as 30% of the fibreglass used on the board is immediately wasted as off cuts.
Fibreglass does not decompose as it’s designed not to rot, and can't be broken down by microorganisms. Incinerating fibreglass waste will also release emissions and greenhouse gases that contribute to pollution levels.
However, this material is the most popular choice as it’s cost-effective, solid and easily repairable. With the growing popularity of surfing, more and more of this material will end up in our waste systems.
This is where we come in.
How does it work?
- We partner with surfboard manufacturers across the UK to collect fibreglass waste directly from their production lines.
- The collected waste is meticulously processed and recycled. We craft surfboard fins that meet the highest performance and aesthetic standards using these recycled materials.
- In addition to fibreglass, we also use a variety of other recycled synthetic fibres, including Carbon, Kevlar, Diolen, and Innegra, as well as a range of naturally derived waste fabrics like wool, basalt, hemp, bamboo, jute and cotton.
