Free Take Back Scheme
For 73 Zero Products
We’re moving away from the traditional take-make-waste model and embracing a circular economy—one that protects our planet and its precious resources. That’s why, in addition to using lower-impact materials and designing our products to last, we ensure that every item in BAM’s 73 Zero Range can be fully recycled at the end of its life.
Each piece is certified by the Circular Textiles Foundation, meaning a commercial-scale facility is already in place to recycle it. We carefully design our products to meet the specific requirements of these facilities, minimising waste as much as possible.
But the journey doesn’t stop with us—it continues with you. We hope you’ll love, wear, care for, and repair your 73 Zero product for years to come before finally recycling it, closing the loop, and making a real difference.
How to use the free take back scheme
Check whether your item has the 'infini-tee' symbol on any labels. If it does, that means it's certified recyclable and included in our 73 Zero range. When your item of clothing is no longer in a wearable condition, please send it back to us so we can ensure it gets recycled. Follow these steps to make use of our free take back scheme:
1. Click the button below to access the form. Once completed, print it and include it in your parcel, or email it to [email protected]

The Rowtor and Longaford Waterproof Jackets
Our Rowtor and Longaford Jackets (sold in 2021/22) are not certified by the Circular Textiles Foundation, but they were designed with circularity in mind. For example, we used as many trims and components made from the same material as the main fabric as possible to make recycling easier.
However, creating a fully circular and waterproof jacket is a challenge. Waterproof membranes and taped seams require different materials, making recycling more complex. But the industry is making progress and solutions, from new recycling processes that handle mixed materials to waterproof fabrics that don’t require membranes at all, are on the horizon.
In the meantime, we’re including all Rowtor & Longaford Jackets in our take-back scheme, ensuring the materials can be recovered and dealt with responsibly.
