Take-Back Scheme
Closing the Loop
Fatyak is leading the charge toward sustainability in the watersports industry with our innovative take-back scheme. This program enables customers to return their end-of-life kayaks, which are then recycled into new products, such as our range of recycled kayaks and bodyboards. By participating, you contribute to reducing plastic waste and building a circular economy that prioritizes long-term solutions over single-use products.
As a reward for your eco-conscious efforts, we offer 20% off your next Fatyak kayak purchase when you return your old kayak through our scheme. This initiative not only reduces waste but also empowers our community of environmentally conscious paddlers to make a meaningful difference.
Benefits
- Rewards for Sustainability: Receive a 20% discount on your next purchase when you participate in the take-back scheme.
- Plastic Pollution Reduction: Reclaiming and recycling old kayaks helps prevent plastic waste from polluting the environment.
- Building a Circular Economy: By recycling old materials into new kayaks, we reduce reliance on virgin materials, minimizing environmental harm.
- Community Impact: Join a collective effort to support sustainable paddling and the health of our oceans.
- Carbon Footprint Reduction: Recycling plastic requires less energy than producing virgin plastic, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
- Extended Product Lifespan: Durable and well-designed recycled kayaks offer a longer lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements and the associated emissions.
- Plastic Neutrality: Recycling your kayak offsets the plastic consumption used in producing new ones, helping us achieve a plastic-neutral status.
Recycling Guidelines
To ensure the success of the take-back scheme, please follow these guidelines:
- Materials Accepted: We accept only plastic kayaks. Please remove any non-plastic components, such as moulded-in brass nuts, before returning the kayak.
- Initiating the Take-Back Scheme: To begin, contact us here. We will provide a designated drop-off point for your kayak.
- Commitment to Reuse: Where possible, repair or reuse components of your kayak before returning it to maximize its lifespan and reduce waste.
