The 4T FORTE Trade-In Campaign debuts on Global Recycling Day, reinforcing a circular future for high-performance sailing.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

March 18, 2026<\/b> \u2014 OneSails, the global sailmaking brand known for advanced sail design and sustainable innovation, today announces the launch of the 4T FORTE Trade-In Campaign<\/b>, the first industry initiative allowing sailors to return used sails for recycling while receiving a benefit toward the purchase of new ones.<\/p>\n

Launching on March 18, Global Recycling Day<\/b>, the campaign highlights OneSails\u2019 long-standing commitment to environmental responsibility and circular manufacturing in sailing. Through the program, customers who own sails produced with 4T FORTE technology<\/b><\/a> can bring their used sails to the nearest OneSails loft<\/b> and receive a special trade-in benefit toward a new 4T FORTE sail set<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The initiative is built around 4T FORTE<\/b>, the only sail technology currently available that is 100% recyclable<\/b>, allowing sails to re-enter a circular material lifecycle rather than becoming waste at the end of their use.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis campaign represents a concrete step forward for sustainability in sailing,\u201d said Dede De Luca, CEO of OneSails International<\/b>. \u201cBy enabling sailors to recycle their sails and reinvest in new high-performance ones, we are closing the loop on sail production while offering a tangible advantage to our customers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How the 4T FORTE Trade-In Campaign Works<\/h2>\n

The program is open to any customer who has purchased sails built with 4T FORTE technology<\/b> since their introduction in October 2013<\/b>.<\/p>\n

To participate, sailors simply bring their used 4T FORTE sails<\/b> to the nearest OneSails loft<\/b><\/a>. After verifying eligibility, the loft will provide a special offer toward a new set of 4T FORTE sails<\/b> as part of the trade-in program.<\/p>\n

The returned sails are then sent for recycling through a certified process managed by ESO Recycling<\/b>, a company specialized in recycling various sports items.<\/p>\n

Responsible Recycling and Low-Impact Logistics<\/h2>\n

The recycling process is handled through ESO Recycling\u2019s\u00a0micro-collection logistics system<\/b>, designed to reduce environmental impact by optimizing transportation routes and minimizing emissions throughout the collection and recycling chain.<\/p>\n

Once collected, the sails are processed and recycled, ensuring that the materials are recovered and reintegrated into new production cycles whenever possible.<\/p>\n

A Circular Approach to Sailmaking<\/h2>\n

By combining\u00a0recyclable sail technology<\/b>, a\u00a0structured take-back program<\/b>, and\u00a0specialized recycling logistics<\/b>, the 4T FORTE Trade-In Campaign represents a new model for sustainability in the sailing industry.<\/p>\n

The program offers a clear value proposition for sailors:\u00a0a campaign that benefits the boat, the sailor\u2019s wallet, and the environment.<\/p>\n

The\u00a04T FORTE Trade-In Campaign<\/b>\u00a0officially launches worldwide on\u00a0March 18, 2026<\/b>\u00a0through the global network of\u00a0OneSails lofts<\/b>.<\/p>\n
