What is OBO ReKeep?
Be a ReKeeper!
Once you have finished with your OBO gear, we would love to get it back from you.
Not to re-sell it of course - but to chip it up, give it new life and turn it into another amazing product.
When you are ready to let go of your beloved OBO gear, follow these steps and we will take care of the rest.

Recycle today for a better tomorrow!
As the first hockey goalie brand in the world, OBO Goalie foam will become circular! A great collaboration between New Zealand-based brand OBO Goalkeeping, Verbunt Hockey BV and Schmitz Foam has come about. Verbunt Hockey takes back the used OBO foam from Europe from hockey clubs and Schmitz Foam provides sustainable recycling in the form of 'Shockpads', a underlayer for artificial turf sports pitches and playgrounds that provides both shock absorption and drainage.
"With Verbunt Hockey, we are entering into a cooperation where we are also recycling used material for the first time. For us excellent material. As goalkeeper material, it has proven its service, but the foam is still in perfect condition to recycle into shockpads. Our shock pads come with a 25-year guarantee, and at the end of their lifespan, our modern factories in the Netherlands and USA are able to recycle them into new shock pads. We are happy to help a progressive brand like OBO Goalkeeping with this circular solution," said Ron Moors, CTO of Roermond-based Schmitz Foam.
So from now on, bring your OBO foam to Verbunt Hockey or hand it in at your hockey club and...
GET Shredded!
And now?
As soon as your club has collected enough old OBO goaliegear, we will come and collect it from you. Make sure you only collect OBO foam and that all straps and buckles are removed. Contact us for a collection appointment or more info, at:
