ZHIK'S WETSUIT RECYCLING PROGRAM |
Were proud to launch a new recycling pilot program called reZHIKle. Whilst our focus is innovating more eco friendly garments, what happens to them at the end of life is equally as important. Zhiks high quality wetsuits are made to perform and last the distance. However, when wetsuits do reach the end of their life and need replacing, they can be recycled through our reZHIKle pilot program and given a second life instead of being sent to landfill. Working with UPPAREL, leaders in textile recovery and garment recycling, SailGP Christchurch will act as the pilot program for reZHIKle, where people can drop off any brand of used wetsuits or skiff suits to be recycled or repurposed and used again. |

"Were really excited to announce that our technical partner, Zhik is launching a new initiative called, reZHIKle. Our old wetsuits will get to live another life, ultimately reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfill."

RECYCLE YOUR WETSUIT IN CHRISTCHURCH |
If you're attending the SailGP Christchurch 18-19 March event bring any old wetsuits to the Zhik booth for recycling. There will be two reZHIKle booths located in the Race Village at Naval Point, or at the SailGP Live Site situated opposite Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre in the city centre. Each person who drops off a wetsuit and registers as part of the reZHIKle program will receive a voucher towards their next Zhik wetsuit purchase. |
