EcoStiks® Commitment to Sustainability, our Planet and You
At EcoStiks®, we are passionate ocean lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. We believe that nature connects us all, and by caring for both the planet and ourselves, we can create a future where people and the planet thrive in balance and harmony.
By nurturing the Earth—through responsible resource use, conservation, collaboration, and environmental stewardship—we safeguard its ability to sustain ours and future generations. Likewise, by caring for ourselves—through health, mindfulness, connection, creativity, and sustainable living—we actively contribute to the planet’s protection and preservation. This reciprocal relationship between personal well-being and environmental care fosters a thriving, sustainable future for us all.
We believe that meaningful change is possible, one step at a time, through the collective efforts of many. This idea is captured in our tagline, “Small waves make big waves,” reflecting how small actions can create a powerful, lasting impact when combined and working together.
We hope that these choices ripple out to create the world we want to live in and share with you.
Product
Materials, Production & Supply Chain:
🌿 EcoStiks patches are woven into fabric using plastic bottles that would otherwise end up in landfills.
🌿 By partnering with Repreve®, the world's leading recycled fiber company, we're able to upcycle thousands of plastic bottles every year.
🌿 Each EcoStiks patch has an estimated quarter recycled water bottle.
🌿 We use eco-friendly inks, small batch printing processes and packaging.
🌿 We partner with manufacturers who meet our sustainability criteria, prioritizing local facitilities when possible, including made in th USA.
Application and Upcycling Multiplier- Reduce/Reuse/Recycle:
♻️ EcoStiks patches are themselves upcycled from plastic water bottles removing them form a landfill and the ocean.
♻️ EcoStiks can be used to re-brand, and upcycle old gear.
♻️ By mending clothing and gear with EcoStiks patches, you extend the life of your belongings.
♻️ Reusing the products you already own keeps items from the landfill longer and reduces the need to purchase new.
