Circular Flow are delighted to attend the Sustainable Fashion and Textiles Forum on Tuesday 10 September at The Alverton Hotel, Truro. This event is funded by the Entrepreneurial Futures project, a £5.6m investment in research, development and innovation (RD&I) activity for businesses based in Cornwall & Isles of Scilly led by the University of Exeter.

In collaboration with the Future Fibres Network+ (FFN+) project, this event brings together industry stakeholders, to identify shared challenges, explore collaborative solutions, and foster partnerships for collective action.

Circular Flow will be joining the afternoon talk sessions with Ramon Van De Velde (CEO of The Wave Project) and Marta Ferri (Business Research & Impact Associate at University of Exeter) discussing the topic of reusing and recycling neoprene.

Through informative talks, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities, the event hopes to inspire and empower businesses to integrate sustainability and ethical practices into their operations, driving positive change across the fashion supply chain.

If you would like to attend and learn more about the urgent challenge of transforming the fashion industry into a more sustainable and ethical sector, you can reserve a place for free here - https://n9.cl/mug41

From 6-8 September, Surfana Festival will take place in the Netherlands’ Zuid Kennemerland National Park, a conservation area full of beautiful sand dunes on the country’s coast. It’s a weekend of surf-focused culture, workshops, good food and good vibes, open to everyone to enjoy.

Sustainable sports equipment brand Pierre Sports will be running several yoga classes each day with their Dolphin yoga mats, made from the end of life neoprene collected and recycled by Circular Flow! You can sign up for the classes via the Surfana website.

@pierre.sports will also provide an info stand and a collection bin for your old wetsuits (or any other neoprene items you have), as well as the opportunity to purchase a Dolphin yoga mat.

Find out more about the festival on the Surfana website, and help us save even more neoprene from landfill.

Hopefully you’ll be inspired to help us make the wetsuit and watersports industry more sustainable - so join us today!

Are you a business with a stack of end of life neoprene?

Join all the other fantastic companies who have already saved so much neoprene from landfill and incineration. Simply drop us a line and we can talk recycling!

You can DM us here, or email [email protected] to make sure your neoprene is disposed of and recycled sustainably, with no melting, burning, trips to landfill, or use of hazardous chemicals.

We hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks to our partners @oneillusa l who sent us eight boxes of neoprene, we have now diverted a massive 150kg from landfill! A huge thank you to the team at O’Neill who made this happen. Together, we can get as much neoprene recycled as possible and made into new items - all without any toxic incineration, waste, or use of hazardous chemicals.

On Saturday 10th August, Circular Flow will be at Rising Tide in Newquay, a grassroots gathering where the very best work from the UK surf community will be on show, with a particular focus on sustainability.

We’ll be collecting your end of life neoprene, and getting to know everyone who wants to hear more about what we do and why it’s so important for our planet.

Plus, we`ll also be showcasing some examples of products made from recycled neoprene, so you can see what the end result is like!

The festival runs from 8-11 August. We hope to see you there!

We’d like to say a big thank you to Jen and the rest of the team at Dirtbags, who have sent us four boxes of neoprene!

Every single item of neoprene will now be diverted from landfill and incineration, and will instead be made by us into amazing new products.

Dirtbags is no stranger to recycling: they collect old climbing gear, outdoor textiles and just about anything that comes their way to give it all a brand spanking new life as bags, climbing gear and blankets. They don’t mass produce, but rather design and make everything themselves.

Sound like something you want to be part of? They’re still open to taking your old wetsuits, and any other end of life neoprene items you’re hanging on to, before sorting and sending them on to us.

Have you heard about Hayling Island Sailing Club’s Youth Race Week? It runs from 29th July to 3rd August, and is open to all sailors under 21, of all skill levels.

We are delighted to say that Circular Flow are attending! We will have drop-off bins at the event to collect end of life wetsuits, and we will also be displaying products made from recycled neoprene via our one of a kind recycling process.

There will also be information on hand about our mission to stop neoprene going to landfill, so you can learn more about what we do.

Our friends at Stream2Sea will also be offering their products to buy directly from Sandy Point Watersports, so you can stock up on sustainable, non-toxic sunscreens, mask defog, body wash, and haircare.

If you’re in the Hampshire area, why not come and join us?
