P\u00c1RAMO RE-STORE ADVENTURE<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

If you no longer need your P\u00e1ramo, we’ll take it back.<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1691571208868{margin-bottom: 2rem !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

\"ReP\u00e1ramo is always looking for the path of least environmental impact. P\u00e1ramo Re-Store Adventure is our way of providing a safe route for disposal of unwanted garments. We’ll take back any P\u00e1ramo product (except underwear), and either find it a new home, or recycle it into new fabric. As a reward for your effort in getting old gear back to us, you can expect a generous discount on new P\u00e1ramo products.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_toggle title=”What we do with your gear”]<\/p>\n

\n

Repair and re-use…<\/p>\n

It is always preferable to re-use before recycling, so if an old garment can be refurbished at reasonable cost, our expert workshop will do so. Repaired and refurbished items then make their way to appreciative new owners via our second-hand outlet.<\/p>\n

You can buy restored garments in great condition, and at a generous saving from the P\u00e1ramo Re-store Adventure shop.<\/a> All refurbished clothing carries a 12 month warranty.<\/p>\n

Recycle…<\/p>\n

If an item is beyond repair, it is stripped of any useful components and baled up ready for shipping to a specialist recycling facility. We aim to use a chemical recycling process which, unlike traditional textile recycling, preserves the value and quality of the material. This ensures the material doesn’t enter a spiral of “downcycling”<\/a> which eventually ends up in landfill. Your old garment will become high quality fabric rather than cheap and disposable cushion filling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Why recycle Polyester?” css=””]<\/p>\n

\n

Recycling reduces the need for landfill…<\/p>\n

\"\"By recycling polyester, we divert it from the main alternative which is to bury it at landfill sites. Creating new landfill sites is becoming increasingly difficult to do without destroying areas of natural habitat and aesthetic beauty. The less polyester we send to landfill, the less we have to dig up the countryside.<\/p>\n

Recycling reduces carbon dioxide emissions…<\/p>\n

\"\"Carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>) is a greenhouse gas, and as such a driver of climate change. There are two ways in which recycling polyester can reduce CO2<\/sub> emissions. Firstly, it eliminates the risk of the fabric being incinerated as a means of disposal, which would release the carbon locked up in the material. Secondly, it requires less energy to recycle polyester than is required to replace it with virgin polyester made from scratch. Most of the energy used in industry still comes from burning fossil fuels, so a saving in energy means a saving in CO2<\/sub> emissions.<\/p>\n

Recycling reduces the demand for extraction of raw materials…<\/p>\n

\"\"The raw material used to make polyester is crude oil. Extracting oil from the ground is a dirty business, laden with environmental and social risks (see Deepwater Horizon<\/a>, Canadian tar sands<\/a>, Amazonian pollution<\/a>). By recycling polyester, we conserve the material we’ve already extracted and help reduce the need for more drilling.<\/p>\n

Our fabrics are uniquely suited for recycling…<\/p>\n

The Nikwax Analogy fabric system is what makes P\u00e1ramo waterproof clothing so durable and easy to repair. This same system, which avoids the need for mixed materials, membranes and taped seams, also makes our gear uniquely suited for recycling. It uses 100% polyester, which unlike most other materials, can be broken back down to its basic building blocks and reformed into new fiber.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_toggle][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

\n

Up to $75 off your next purchase!<\/h2>\n

For maximum environmental benefit we need as many P\u00e1ramo garments to be diverted from landfill as possible. That’s why we’re offering a reward for every old P\u00e1ramo garment that we receive. If you return a garment labelled Nikwax Analogy, we’ll give you a $75 discount on a new item worth more than $200 MSRP. For any other P\u00e1ramo garment you’ll get a $15 discount on a new item worth more than $40 MSRP.
