You may ask who Circular Flow are. In short, they are a company who are pushing the envelope on ensure Neoprene is not as harmful as it is right now. The reason they started is out of a need to find a solution to stop such outrageous levels of neoprene waste.

Wetsuits and other neoprene products can be categorised as a silent killer when talking about the growing issue with pollution and landfill. The water sports world is on a steady growth curve and the want for these neoprene items is growing but before Circular Flow, there was no real easy method for the recycling of the neoprene.

It is estimated that over a million wetsuits go into landfill every year, and with the nature of neoprene it is a very specialized process to recycle this. If we can attempted to reduce this number by even the smallest of margins, this will go to protecting our playground.
