Every single bag will be unique in appearance, depending on the donor sail and what position it was cut from.
The bags are handmade in Cornwall using end-of-life spinnaker sails, typically made from Nylon due to being lightweight, durable and UV stable, and are stitched with a recycled cotton thread.
Entirely plastic-free, 100% recyclable FSC certified packaging, made in the UK.
Free UK Shipping on orders over £45.
Worldwide shipping options.
30 Days to try your gear, with free returns shipping for UK orders.
If you would like your order to be sent as a gift, please let us know when ordering and we can send it in within discreet external packaging.
Not only are you enabling your own beach cleaning capabilities, but you are also directly enabling the expansion of our ghost gear recovery and recycling efforts and creating a demand for plastic to be removed from the ocean.
Our upcycled sail beach clean bags are handmade in the UK in Falmouth, Cornwall.
It didn’t make sense to us that the equipment used by individuals who take direct action against the plastic pollution crisis contained non-recyclable virgin plastic, and we heard the same from you, that single-use bin bags just didn't feel right!
We teamed up with a local maker, Rory McKellar, to utilise sailcloth's properties to create the ultimate reusable beach cleaning sack.
If sandy, muddy or exposed to saltwater, rinse clean with freshwater and hang to dry.
Store dry.
Repairs can be made by stitching or cloth tape.
Avoid dragging the bag across the floor
Absolutely! Contact us and we'll be able to arrange a collection of your end-of-life sail.
Please note, due to the varying thicknesses of sails, we can only accept spinnakers.
Additionally, we are part of the Clean Sailors Resail programme, to learn more about their drop-off points, visit their website.

We often do clean-ups in windy conditions where our bags are difficult to handle. These hoops are great for that!

We have been using waterhaul's clean-up gear for our clean-ups in Malta and we are really happy about them. They are durable and resistant and make our lives so much easier!

Sturdy litter picking hoops
Love that these are recycled fishing nets. Bought for our community litter picking group Friends of Doddington Wood. Used the new hoops this morning on our monthly litter pick & the hoops are strong and sturdy. Recommended product and we will use in future in we need more litter picking equipment. Thank you :)

A little tricky to open and close, we were scared of breaking it if we had pulled too hard. However it is getting easier with more use.

Fantastic and helpful.
Before I brought this I was having trouble with the bags due to the wind. Once I got it I tried it out and it works brilliantly.

Circular whizz!
So excited to receive this! -Great price, brilliant practical product, should have bought one ages ago, love that it is made from recycled fishing net, I tended to hold it by the rim rather than the handle as it felt more comfortable and could keep it higher off the floor. Tested to oblivion on its first outing! Don't hesitate to get yourself one!

Handle design
A larger diameter handle would make it easier to hold. Also a larger diameter hole could be used to store a plastic picker bag in.

Easily held in the ocean plastic ring, keeps it wide for putting all litter in hands-free! Well branded, gets people talking

Love the idea, but the hinge on the hoop perished and snapped off on the second time of use. Now looking for a sturdier product
Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the hinge issue! We have to admit, this isn't something we've encountered before! Please contact us so we can assist you with a replacement or refund. We appreciate your support!

Super strong: I've been using one of these for a year and it's taken all that Sheffield can throw at it!

Bought two hoops for my litterpicking group and they seem very good. I have kept one and given one to a friend / volunteer in the group. Nice to see they are made from recycled ocean plastic and plan to buy some more from our community grant money

Well designed holder for the heavy duty rubbish bag that's proving its worth cleaning up all the crap thrown out of cars onto our local roads.

Great bit piece of kit to litter pick with my nephews. Saves having to keep the bag open by hand and gives a bigger target to drop litter in! Even better is that its made from retrieved fish netting from the ocean. Thanks!

This is strong and easy to clean but it is rather heavy compared with the ring- and- clip variety and my bag slipped off when the bag was about half full. I thought maybe I hadn’t clipped it properly but then it happened again.

Love that it’s made from recycled plastics. It makes garbage collection SO much easier

Needs a bitmore design, the sacks don’t stay on or fit as well as I would
Like.

Would have been five stars if it were not for the slightly tricky fitting on the recycled sail bag. May have just been me but otherwise a great product.

What a great idea for recycling old sails. I'm one litter pick in and so far so good. Five stars. Keep up the great work Waterhaul.

A no brainer
Very satisfying not to be putting waste into single use plastic.
Ordered several and they were all same colour. Might try and use one for my tall kitchen bin - all food scraps and anything smelly is sorted elsewhere

Makes life easier...
Good and tough, where local council bags aren''t; also a good fit in the bag hoop, again where council bags aren''t. Keep up the good work.
