Take-Back Scheme: Closing the Loop

Fatyak Kayaks’ innovative take-back scheme is a game-changer for the kayaking industry. Customers are encouraged to return their end-of-life kayaks, which Fatyak then recycles to create new products.

As a reward, participants receive a discount on their next kayak purchase. This circular approach reduces waste, promotes sustainability, and helps Fatyak Kayaks build a community of environmentally conscious paddlers who prioritize long-term solutions over single-use products.
