Zhik is proud to partner with Circular Flow, global innovators in the
recycling space. Circular Flow have developed a way to recycle old
neoprene into new products, which can be recycled time and again, a
brilliant alternative to taking over 100 years to decompose in landfill.
Sustainability is firmly at the heart of the Zhik brand, which has long
established its own wetsuit recycling programme, "ReZHIKle",
throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Together with Circular Flow, Zhik is now bringing neoprene recycling to
the UK and Europe, kicking off with two ReZHIKle bins at the upcoming
Southampton Boat Show, which runs from this Friday 13th to 22nd
September at Mayflower Park.
Italian Zhik distributor Negrinautica has also received the ReZHIKle
boxes and launched the program as a first mover in Europe, and said,
"At Negrinautica, we are proud to lead the way in Europe with the
ReZHIKle program. Sustainability is not just a goal, but a responsibility
we all share. By recycling old wetsuits, we are giving our customers the
chance to be part of the solution, helping to protect the waters and our
world we love, for future generations."
Attendees to the Southampton Boat Show this week are encouraged to
bring their old wetsuits to be placed in the bins, which will be located on
the stands of Zhik distributors, Southwest Marine dealer GOAT Marine,
(stand J235 in Ocean Hall), and south coast sailing and dive specialists
Andark, (opposite the lake attraction).
Peter, Circular Flow said, "With the same missions and passion to drive
change, Circular Flow and Zhik have joined forces to expand a greener,
more sustainable solution for end-of-life neoprene to the UK
and EU market. We can't wait to collaborate with Zhik, and make sure
that even more wetsuits are able to be recycled sustainably - rather than
contributing to landfill and pollution."
Johnny Rodgers, Zhik Head of Marketing/Partnerships & Global
Sponsorship Manager, said, "We're excited to partner with Circular Flow
to help close the gap on our product lifecycle, extending our ReZHIKle
program across the globe.
