Arc’teryx Launches Repurposing Program

Arc’teryx, a technical apparel and equipment manufacturer, has launched a  program called Rock Solid Used Gear intended to underline its ongoing commitment to sustainability.

Rock Solid was the original name of the North Vancouver, Canada-based brand when it was founded more than 30 years ago. The name is being brought back to describe a repurposing initiative. Under the terms of the program, Arc’teryx will buy back used gear that is in good condition, clean and repair it and resell it at a lower cost. This allows customers to buy technical gear for less money upfront while also minimizing the brand’s environmental footprint.
