Welcome to ReCoat
We are an organization dedicated to promoting sustainability by redistributing lightly used lab coats and goggles to students. Join us in our mission to raise awareness about the circular economy and foster community involvement in sustainable practices.
About ReCoat
Powered by the McMaster Okanagan Office of Health and Well-Being, ReCoat was founded at McMaster University and is a leading advocate for sustainability. We collect lightly used lab coats and goggles from graduating students and redistribute them to incoming students for FREE, promoting the circular economy. Our mission is to improve economic equity by providing free lab resources, increase safety through sanitization of materials, and contribute to global reduction goals by minimizing textile waste.
​
We Reduce
Instead of having to contribute to the climate crisis by purchasing a new lab coat and goggles, ReCoat reduces textile waste by offering upcylced lab materials to students!
We Enable
University does not need to break the bank! To Improve economic equity, ReCoat provides all of its supplies completely FREE. This way, we can help alleviate financial stress from students and enable them to make effective purchases.
We Empower
To meet global reduction targets, we all must work together. Empowering students to take part in small actions can have huge impacts. What sustainable practice can you implement?
