Clean Sailors & Circular Flow Forge Alliance, United against Wetsuit Waste

Eradicating marine pollution is no small feat, and collaboration is the winning strategy. This belief is displayed by Clean Sailors, the force behind the pioneering ReSail platform, as they announce an exciting partnership with Circular Flow, a vanguard in the realm of neoprene reuse solutions. This association extends the ReSail platform’s global reach; it provides an avenue for sailors to be accountable by not only appropriately disposing of their expired sails, but their old wetsuits and neoprene gear as well.

The innovative ReSail platform is a global digital map pinpointing locations where old sails can discover new purpose. Given the current lack of a formal recycling structure for these complex nautical textiles, this platform is a godsend, linking sailors with organisations capable of granting these materials a second wind.
