Idea

Passback is creating a circular economy for sports gear, so every kid can play - starting by upcycling soccer gear.

Current Status

Total Revenue: $81,837.73
January 1 - August 1, 2024

Breakdown:
-Gear Sales + Cash Donations: $12,000
-Waste Management Service Sales: $30,000
-In-Kind Donations Received: $40,000
($0 product acquisition cost with 501c3 status)

Problem or Opportunity

The Problem: The Linear Economy
Sports clubs & retailers accumulate excess gear (most of which is plastic), leading to cluttered storage spaces, increased overhead costs, & wasted potential for reuse.

Solution (product or service)

The Solution: The Circular Economy for Sports Gear
Passback manages the reverse logistics process, collecting and refurbishing surplus gear and redistributing it at a fraction of the cost, creating value for stakeholders across the supply chain.

Business model

We work with sports clubs and retailers in excess
