boat sail recycling les toiles du large

🧡♻️ the gift of sail (Episode #2) 15 years with @lestoilesdularge

2020: 15 years with @lestoilesdularge 🧡♻️
New series of behind-the-scenes posts about our business.
Sail donation and recycling ⛵️


When sails reach the end of their life, they need to be changed. @lestoilesdularge gives them a second life!
We recycle sails at the end of their life cycle, and avoid burdening landfill sites with non-recyclable material. Several thousand m² of sails are processed every year. Over 95% of each sail collected is recycled.. The recycling of your sails is carried out entirely in Provence, in partnership with sheltered workshops. This approach is the result of our desire to run an ethical, responsible and supportive business.
The concept? You want to recycle your sail? In exchange, Les Toiles du Large makes the bag of your choice in your own sail as a souvenir of your sailing days.
And what do you do with your old sails? 🙃
