Reclaimed Adventures

We have come to realize that in the world of outdoor adventure there are many pieces of gear which need to be retired due to wear, and are never looked at again! We want to change that. Reclaimed Adventures is based on repurposing old and retired outdoor gear for new uses!

Green Guru Gear
Location: USA
Green guru gear uses old outdoor gear that would otherwise end up in landfills to create new adventure gear. All green guru gear started out as something else like bike tubes, wetsuits, and billboard materials. By keeping these valuable materials out of landfills, we can adventure with a good conscious.

We can’t stop people from growing out of their clothes, wearing through them or deciding that it’s time for something new. However, we can help to ensure that worn clothes don’t end up in landfills. Our Clothes the Loop program allows consumers to drop off their unwanted clothing and footwear at The North Face Retail And Outlet Stores.

Alpkit
Location: UK
The Continuum Project is designed to make it easy for you to donate your outdoor kit directly to those who need it most, and keep your kit out of landfill whilst you're at it. This is made possible by support from the Alpkit Foundation. The idea is simple. You send us outdoor garments that you no longer use and we pass them on to charities who will in turn give them directly to someone who needs them for protection from the elements. Occasionally, when a garment is deemed no longer fit for purpose, it will be donated to scientific research projects relating to the outdoor industry and up/downcycling projects.
