On September 19th, the North Sails Apparel team embarked on a kayaking adventure to the beach of Camogli to collect plastic and other waste. The activity, organized in partnership with Ogyre – a certified B Corp focused on Fishing for Litter – ended with a detailed analysis of the collected waste by a marine biologist. As part of our commitment to becoming an Ocean Positive company, it is extremely important for us to raise awareness among our employees and community about the dangers of marine pollution.

“We are thrilled to partner with North Sails because we share the same passion for the ocean, sailing and a common goal to preserve the planet for generations to come,” says Nicolas Veto, co-owner of 727Sailbags. Creating new products from old sails, such as bags and accessories, opens new markets and promotes a circular economy. Since the start of our partnership with 727 Sailbags in August 2023, we have collected and recycled 1,750 square meters of dead sails from North Sails lofts in France, the Netherlands, Italy, and Croatia.
