So the story on the Jarn regrind is not related to recycling. The first run Jarns went out to dealers and most of them had damage (generally a crack) to the mold point in the middle of the disc. Kastaplast told everyone to send them back so they could grind them down and then remake them. There are some first run Jarns that didn’t make it back and even a smaller number of them that didn’t get damaged AND didn’t make it back. Those non damaged, non regrind jarns are sought after. TMYK.
I wish these companies would give us more of a look into the manufacturing process for these recycled runs. Maybe most just look at it as engaging content but Jesse was also holding himself accountable for his claims by giving the public such an unprecedented look into his manufacturing process for Trash Panda, frankly it makes other companies look like they're being a little vague when they drop a recycled blend with just a 60 second promo video but maybe my skepticism is misplaced. It's still a step in the right direction on discraft's part, I just think it's important to hold companies accountable when they're more or less piggy-backing off a grassroots initiatives like the one Jesse has started
I have to wonder if trash panda will still be able to compete if big companies like Discraft can produce recycled plastic discs for much cheaper. But I am happy to see recycled plastic becoming more common.
Trash Panda for the win. Jesse is doing it for the environment. Others will do it to cut cost. I would like to see them testing and improving durability, so that discs last much longer.
I dont care about the BS that is "recycled" or "bio" plastics. In fact it turns me off from it. I loved jesse wanting to make discs... I couldnt care less. Sell the discs for cheaper instead of regrinding them. all of the added chemicals etc to make the regrind viable.... sheeeesh.

No doubt. Thank you Trash Panda! Glad to see major companies responding. Hope this trend continues.
Innova has been running Echo Star for a long time.
I was just about to say some thing about that, no mention about Echo star and it’s been around since 2009 or 2010.
At least!!!! I have an Echo Star Katana that's been around since 2010 at least........

I think so because the inner core and Dune are genuinely just good discs regardless of how they are made
Is there a release date for the new plastic?
That was an honest take on things.

Respect to Jesse. For disrupting the market.

I really hope a lot of these big companies are taking the hint from Jesse because he did a lot for growing the sport sustainably.
Just remember that buying used is still better for the environment (and cheap)
looking forward to the trash panda ozone!
I paid 12.99 for mine and that’s awesome! Salute to discraft!
Discraft really needs to reach out to Jesse and bring Trash Panda into the mix!
