How it works
We’ve made getting started with the Rip Curl Free Recycling Program easy! Simply collect your old and broken surf wetsuits and drop them off to any participating Rip Curl store to be recycled. They will then be sent to TerraCycle to be given a second life
Get Started

Any brand of used surf wetsuits.
The program does not accept:

No, you do not need to clean your wetsuit before dropping it off for recycling. Ripcurl Stores will not accept dripping items, so please make sure your items are dry.
Rip Curl sponsors this national recycling program making it free for you to participate.
Discover Our Recycling Process
Once dropped off, your wetsuits will be crumbed into new raw material. This material can then be used for the creation of things like soft fall matting for playgrounds.
