Mellow Sea Upcycling
Proposing solutions
At a time when the planet is running out of steam and mankind consumes all the Earth's natural resources in 6 months, Mellow Sea has chosen to give a second life to existing materials through its upcycling programme.
The aim? To stop producing unreasonably, and instead reuse available resources that are not being used.
Upcycling and recycling: two different concepts.
Recycling is the destruction of products or materials to recover a reusable raw material.
Upcycling gives new life to old products and materials. The object's former function is still identifiable.
Collection
We collect beach towels and bath towels from surf and beach clubs, as well as from the Catholic Relief Service and the Secours Populaire.
Washing
Towels must comply with hygiene standards. They are therefore sent to a local laundry that promotes CSR values.
Design
This is the same workshop that uses our patterns to design and create the patchworks.
Manufacturing
The patchworks are assembled to make ponchos, car seat covers, beach bags, etc... The last scraps are used for pockets. So nothing goes to waste.
Sale
You can find our products at our retailers and partner sites. If you have taken part in our various collections, we will offer you a 15% discount on the purchase of upcycled products.

Your opinions and recommendations are essential for us to continue to improve. So don't hesitate to contact us at boutique@mellowsea.com.
Our approach
For us, upcycling is a way of considerably reducing our carbon footprint. Because there is no production of materials. It's an approach that's close to our hearts, and one that we want to democratise even further. So we work with local players who are committed to an environmental and social approach.
The future of the Mellow Sea upcycling programme
- We are working on recycling other materials such as paraglider canvas, neoprene, wool, etc...
- We want to further anchor our upcycling approach in a total circularity approach. So we are developing partnerships with players who are involved in both the collection of waste and the distribution of recycled products.
