Our Story

There's a moment most of us have had — staring at a pile of discarded packaging, a broken gadget destined for landfill, or yet another flimsy single-use product that lasted all of three weeks — and thinking: there has to be a better way. That frustration is exactly where Second Cycle Supply Co. began. Not in a boardroom, not with a slick pitch deck, but with a genuine, mounting dissatisfaction with throwaway culture and the firm belief that the materials we casually discard deserve something far better than a one-way trip to the dump.

The seed of the idea was simple, almost obvious once you saw it: the objects we throw away are often more interesting than what we replace them with. A bicycle inner tube is tough, flexible, water-resistant, and rich with texture — why should it end its life in a skip? A skateboard deck, layered with compressed maple and decades of colour, holds more character than most mass-produced leather goods ever will. Bamboo, one of the fastest-growing plants on the planet, can replace plastic in a dozen daily rituals without a single compromise on quality. Scrap wood, shaped and finished with care, can become a timepiece that outlasts the tree it came from. The beauty was already there. It just needed to be found.

Wallets and bags handcrafted from recycled bicycle inner tube rubber — beautiful, durable, and diverted from landfill.

From that starting point, Second Cycle Supply Co. grew into a carefully curated online shop bringing together the world's most thoughtful eco-conscious makers. Rather than manufacturing everything under one roof, the brand chose to seek out artisans and suppliers who had already mastered their craft — people who had dedicated themselves to the same principle: that reclaimed, upcycled, and sustainably produced goods can be genuinely excellent. Today, the catalog spans everything from recycled rubber accessories and skateboard jewelry to bamboo kitchen essentials, eco razors, wooden watches, and 100% recycled cotton tees. Every single item earned its place.

Our Mission

Single-use culture didn't happen overnight, and it won't be undone overnight either. But every purchasing decision is a small vote — for the kind of world we want to live in, and the kind of economy we want to support. Second Cycle Supply Co. exists to make that vote as easy, as beautiful, and as rewarding as possible.

That means fighting the assumptions that sustainable goods are dull, overpriced, or hard to find. It means standing firmly against landfill waste and the relentless churn of disposable products. And it means building real relationships with the makers and artisans who share those values — people who aren't chasing volume, but quality, durability, and genuine environmental integrity. When you shop with us, you're not just buying a wallet or a soap dish. You're supporting a network of makers who are proving that doing things right is not just possible — it's the future.

What Makes Us Different

There are plenty of places to buy "green" products. Here's why Second Cycle Supply Co. is not like the rest:

●     Every product tells a story.  Materials sourced from bicycle tubes, retired skate decks, fast-growing bamboo forests, and responsibly harvested wood carry a history worth knowing — and wearing.

●     Curated, not mass-produced.  Every item in the catalog is hand-picked for quality, durability, and genuine sustainability credentials. If it doesn't meet the standard, it doesn't make the cut.

●     Style meets conscience.  Eco-friendly doesn't mean sacrificing aesthetics. The products here are genuinely beautiful — objects you'll reach for every day and feel good about every time.

●     Transparent sourcing.  Second Cycle Supply Co. is committed to working only with makers who share the same environmental values. No greenwashing. No exceptions.

●     Community-driven.  Built for cyclists, skaters, minimalists, and anyone who believes a better choice is always possible — and always worth making.

Bamboo kitchen essentials — one of the planet's fastest-growing plants, replacing plastic in everyday rituals without compromise.

Our Values

Our Sustainability Commitment

Circularity is not a buzzword here — it's the operating principle behind every item in the store. Bicycle inner tubes that would otherwise be landfill-bound become sleek, durable wallets and crossbody bags. Skateboard decks — layered, colourful, compressed maple that has lived a full first life — get a second chapter as earrings and necklaces, each one uniquely patterned by the wood's own history. Bamboo, which can grow up to three feet in a single day, steps in for plastic across soap dishes, cutlery sets, scalp massagers, and more, without putting pressure on slow-growth forests or ecosystems. And scrap wood, shaped and finished by skilled hands, becomes eco-friendly wooden watches that carry real warmth and character — the kind that only comes from materials that have already earned their place in the world.

Sustainable living, beautifully realised — the philosophy behind every product Second Cycle Supply Co. carries.

The broader impact compounds with every sale. Each purchase diverts waste from landfill, reduces demand for virgin materials, and sends an unmistakable signal to the market: consumers want better, and they are willing to act on it. Biodegradable dog waste bags replace plastic ones that outlive their owners by centuries. Recyclable paper sunglasses prove that accessories can be both fun and responsible. 100% recycled cotton tees show that the softest thing against your skin doesn't have to cost the earth — literally. Every item is a small proof point in a much larger argument: that the way we've always done things is not the only way, and certainly not the best way.
