In July 2021, we announced our partnership with the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) and committed to using 65% sustainable cotton in Rip Curl products by 2025.
Rip Curl crew from headquarters around the globe allocate one day to work with local environmental groups to help benefit where our we live, work and surf.
We not only want to be the Ultimate Surfing Company, creating the world’s best wetsuits, equipment and apparel, but also to be the best we can be for the planet.
Over the past few weeks, we have witnessed devastating floods ravage parts of Northern NSW and Queensland, causing unprecedented damage and disruption to the lives and homes of thousands.
Last month saw Rip Curl’s 21st annual Planet Day take place along the Surf Coast, working with local environmental groups located near our Torquay Head Office to clean up, protect and revegetate beach areas.
Earlier this year, Rip Curl partnered with TerraCycle and announced an Australian wetsuit recycling program. Now they’re sweetening the deal, Surfers can drop in a wetsuit and receive $20 store credit*
The motto, “leave it better than you found it” is a favourite among surfers, reminding every one of us to pick up litter at our local beaches, repair instead of discard, and tread with care wherever The Search takes us.
