Re:Band range made from bird banding waste

In 2024, a Department of Conservation (DoC) bird banding employee sent us weldable band waste to explore as a recyclable material—and it worked! The result? Re:Band—a limited edition range crafted from repurposed bird banding waste, turning conservation leftovers into unique accessories.

Each piece provides a tangible connection to bird conservation efforts, raising awareness about Aotearoa’s unique wildlife. Even better, proceeds from every sale support Forest & Bird, helping to protect and restore native habitats.
