COULD YOU BE LESS TRASHY?
PUERTO ESCONDIDO, OAXACA · VENICE BEACH, CA
Ever loved a surf beach so much you wanted to protect it? So did we. Tropical Trash is building real recycling infrastructure in the world's best surf communities — starting right here in Puerto Escondido. 10% of every sale funds the mission.
STOP THE WAVE OF PLASTIC
Surf culture helped put places like this on the map. It also helped leave an environmental mess behind. We stopped pretending this problem isn't ours.
Tropical Trash exists to hold surf culture accountable — sin matar el vibe — by turning style, community, and good times into real recycling infrastructure. We don't work from guilt. We work from action. Pura acción.
COMMUNITY FIRST
Surf and skate culture are inseparable — and so is our responsibility to these places. We're making recycling part of the culture, and making it fun. Because if it's not fun, nobody does it.
RECICLAJE REAL
10% of every sale goes directly into recycling infrastructure and education. Hot pink bins, weekly collection, sorting, and innovation for new recycling solutions. Infraestructura de verdad.
SUSTAINABLE VIBRAS
Pushing boundaries in sustainable fashion — not just vintage. Recycled ocean plastic, innovative materials, and designs you actually want to wear. Style and sustainability aren't opposites. They're the same wave.
STYLE AS A VEHICLE
No greenwashing. No 'awareness campaigns' that go nowhere. Just systems that work, look good, and break trends while doing it. This isn't charity — it's participation.
EVERY SALE FUNDS RECYCLING IN PUERTO ESCONDIDO
Recycling systems in surf communities lag far behind. Your purchase funds hot pink recycling bins, weekly collection, sorting, processing, and recycling education — built with Comunidad NIT. So your recycling doesn't disappear into some mystery pile. It actually gets recycled. De verdad.
