Welcome to the Italian team creating stylish 'new' garments from old sails
A big welcome to JUNKLE.IT, our latest ReSail by Clean Sailors partner.
The team, based in , Italy, are stylishly keeping old sails from landfill, giving them a new life for a variety of super fashionable items - from parkers and trenches to bags and bean bags.
Since launching in 2022, our ReSail platform has been connecting sailors and their old sails with projects around the world that makes use of them.
Sails are strong and durable, built to withstand some of the toughest elements on our planet; UV light, saltwater and wind.
Made from complex synthetic materials, sails aren’t formally recyclable anywhere in the world, and the majority end up in the landfill.
We want to help change this by providing opportunities for sails to have a second life, and by encouraging our sailmaker friends to design things differently.
If you've an old sail, head to our ReSail homepage to find the closest sail recycling drop-off point near you.
