Our mission
LuckyFish Upcycling is dedicated to upcycling retired materials into high-quality products.
We strive to help eliminate waste and give back to the climbing community. We are gathering rope from gyms and individuals in Texas and surrounding areas. Our mission is to use every bit of the retired ropes we receive. We are continuously experimenting with other upcycled materials to recycle even more.
We gladly accept donations from gyms, clubs, and individuals. Our offerings include handcrafted goods made from rope, as well as services to upcycle ropes for individuals, returning them as usable products.
To support our commitment to the climbing community, we proudly donate 15% of every purchase to Access Fund.
How we develop our products
We gather ropes and sanitize them before getting started. We then separate the core from the sheath to prepare the pieces for different projects. In some cases, we leave the rope whole. Finding a use for all the core strands has been particularly tricky, but we have stayed steady in the hunt for a solution, and we seem to have found it. We take long pieces of core and crochet and weave them into wonderfully beautiful items such as water bottle holders and book covers. As we develop and test more items, you’ll see them pop up in our shop.
(Everything you see in our store is 100% upcycled climbing rope and, in some cases a bit of hardware like metal loops and thread)
