At Worthing Watersports, we recognize that the watersports industry faces challenges in becoming fully eco-friendly. However, sustainability is something we are deeply passionate about, and we are committed to making a positive impact where we can.


Here are some of the steps we take to be more environmentally conscious:

🌱 Carbon Offsetting – A Tree for Every Order


For every online or in-store order, we plant a tree to help offset our carbon footprint. You can see our growing forest here 🌿.

Reusing supplier packaging wherever possible.

99% recyclable packaging – we always choose the greenest option, even at a higher cost.

✔ Our pallet shrink wrap is clear (not black) and made from 30% recycled content.

Strict recycling & waste separation for all shop materials.

Challenging suppliers to reduce unnecessary plastic in their packaging.

♻️ Industry Innovation – The World’s First Eco-Friendly Sail Stickers


Our sister company, South East Signage, founded by Worthing Watersports’ owner Sam Latham, designed and manufactured the world’s first recyclable watersports material for creating eco-friendly sail stickers. This is a step toward reducing plastic waste in the industry.

 

🌍 Join Us in Making a Difference


We know there’s still a long way to go, but we’re committed to doing our part. By making conscious choices in packaging, energy use, and brand partnerships, we hope to lead by example and encourage others in the industry to follow suit.


Together, we can protect our oceans, beaches, and playgrounds for future generations.
