What to do with an old wetsuit? 3 useful options

Is your wetsuit at the end of its life? 3 ways to keep it out of landfill: donate it, repair it, or turn it into unique sunglasses with OCENEO.

A surf, diving or kitesurf wetsuit is almost never recycled through standard channels. Before throwing yours away, here are 3 useful options.

1. Give it away or sell it

If it is still in good condition, a wetsuit can be useful to a beginner, a surf school or a charity. Classified ads, local clubs: think of them before the bin.

2. Have it repaired

A tear is not the end of a wetsuit. Repair workshops fix rips and re-glue seams, extending its life by several seasons.

3. Turn it into glasses (upcycling)

At the end of its life, neoprene keeps all its value. With our Recycle my wetsuit service, we turn your wetsuit into a one-of-a-kind pair of sunglasses, finished by hand in our workshop in Le Teich, on Arcachon Bay. An object full of your sessions, rather than a piece of waste.

Rather than throwing it away, give it a second life: recycle my wetsuit.
