$50,000 Goal

Passback: Creating a circular economy for sports gear so every kid can play.

The Problem: Linear Economy for Sports Gear
Millions of kids do not have access to equal play, yet sports clubs, schools, retailers, and manufacturers accumulate excess gear (most of which is plastic/metal), leading to cluttered storage spaces, increased overhead costs, & wasted potential for reuse. 

The Solution: Circular Economy for Sports Gear 

Passback manages the reverse logistics process, collecting and refurbishing surplus gear and redistributing it at a fraction of the cost, creating value for stakeholders across the supply chain.

WIN: Kids have access to quality sports gear, opening up opportunities for teamwork, physical activity, and fun, regardless of their resources.

WIN: Businesses reduce overhead costs, including storage and labor expenses, & receive help with their community and sustainability goals.

WIN: Plastic and metal are reused, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, reducing landfill waste, and extending product life.
