A durable and reusable litter picking bag, custom fit to pair with our recycled Bag Hoops or to fold into your backpack for use on it's own during impromptu beach cleans! Handmade in Cornwall, from end-of-life spinnaker sail cloth, created in collaboration with Ocean Republic.

Sails are made from incredibly strong and durable plastics, but are replaced over time to ensure reliability.

No facilities exist for recycling, with an estimated 97% ending up in landfill.

Partnering with Ocean Republic, we are upcycling this high quality plastic by transforming end-of-life sails from a waste material, into a valuable resource.

The litter picking bags are hand-cut from spinnaker sails; a lightweight but highly durable form of sail.

Every single bag is unique in appearance, depending on the donor sail and what position it was cut from.

The litter picking bags can easily be rinsed out with your garden hose, ready to be used again on your next beach clean or litter pick.

Custom made to fit our Litter Picking Bag Hoops.

The bags are handmade in Cornwall using end-of-life spinnaker sails, typically made from Nylon due to being lightweight, durable and UV stable, and are stitched with a recycled cotton thread.

So far, we've recycled 74429kg of marine plastic and your purchase will help us to increase this even further.

FAQs

Our upcycled sail beach clean bags are handmade in the UK in Falmouth, Cornwall.

It didn’t make sense to us that the equipment used by individuals who take direct action against the plastic pollution crisis contained non-recyclable virgin plastic, and we heard the same from you, that single-use bin bags just didn't feel right!

We teamed up with a local maker, Rory McKellar, to utilise sailcloth's properties to create the ultimate reusable beach cleaning sack.

If sandy, muddy or exposed to saltwater, rinse clean with freshwater and hang to dry.

Store dry.

Repairs can be made by stitching or cloth tape.

Avoid dragging the bag across the floor

Absolutely! Contact us and we'll be able to arrange a collection of your end-of-life sail.

Please note, due to the varying thicknesses of sails, we can only accept spinnakers.

Additionally, we are part of the Clean Sailors Resail programme, to learn more about their drop-off points, visit their website.
