 Surfboard RecyclingRerip has implemented an organized board collection program with local retailers and city landfills, and is currently working on expansion efforts.
Boards are collected and inventoried depending on their current state; unrideable and broken boards are used in recycling R&D efforts and by local artists to create unique art pieces; rideable boards are repaired and sold through Rerip’s online board shop. Some are given away to schools, non-profits, and people in need. Rerip collects about 20 boards per month from its collection sites, with more locations planned once viable storage options are secured.
Not only does the recycling program allow for the responsible disposal of surboards, it is fueling its R and D efforts for a cleaner surf industry. |
