EcoStiks are woven into fabric using plastic bottles that would otherwise end up in landfills. By partnering with Repreve, the world's leading recycled fiber company, we're able to save thousands of plastic bottles from being wasted every year.

Woven from Waste

EcoStiks are themselves upcycled, and they can also be used to upcycle any gear you stick them to. By mending clothing and gear with EcoStiks, you extend the life of your belongings. Reusing the products you already own keeps items from being thrown away and reduces the need to purchase new.

Upcycling Multiplier

Traditional promotional products like brochures, flyers and other trinkets are likely to end up in landfills. EcoStiks are different - they have several practical uses, such as mending clothes, patching holes in gear, and decorating.
