  • Summary

  • As we know, sails are strong and durable, built to withstand some of Earth’s toughest environments; UV light, saltwater and wind.

    Made from complex synthetic materials, sails aren’t formally recycled anywhere in the world with over 97% of them heading to landfill or incineration.

    But what if we used these huge sheets of hardy textiles for good?

    What if we used spent sails to help shelter refugees, the homeless and those displaced by politics and natural disasters?

    In this episode we are joined by Angela Abshier, founder of Sail to Shelter, achieving just that.

    A worthy listen, I'm sure you will agree.

    And, if you've an old sail remember to head to our ReSail by Clean Sailors platform to find your closest drop-off. Old sails can be made into new things 👍
