Upcycle

@Lava Rubber:
Our name comes from the organic similarity of how lava is formed.  Just like molten lava renews the Earth, we transform discarded neoprene materials into useful and long lasting goods. Instead of letting valuable scraps end up in landfills, we upcycle them into durable & functional products to fit into your conscious lifestyle.

Our recycling initiative began in 2009 and we formed Lava Rubber in 2011. Since then, we've been collecting material donations from surfers, scuba divers, Diveheart, surf schools, marine institutes, day camps, outdoor retailers, and wetsuit manufacturers.

The Lava Rubber family is constantly developing new products using our proprietary upcycled blend while also tackling complex, "hard to manage" waste streams. Materials we upcycle include:

  • Wetsuits & neoprene sheets

  • Gaskets & weather stripping

  • Juice pouches & energy bar wrappers

  • Yoga pants and other stretch fabric scraps

Our factory alone recycles over a ton of internal scrap material every month. We also offer a product take-back program any Lava Rubber item can be returned to us for recycling.

Our commitment to sustainability even extends to our packaging. Each package includes a printed reverse side featuring upcycled artwork turning what would be waste into a bonus piece of creative reuse.

All Lava Rubber goods are proudly made in New Jersey and Hawaii, USA.
Please enjoy consciously.
