Trash Panda

Brand's website: Trash Panda

Trash Panda was born with one goal in mind: to grow the sport sustainably!

From creating a community on YouTube to partnering with some of the raddest brands in our sport to making the most sustainable discs possible, the Trash Panda team has never been more committed to their mission.=

Today, we have an incredible team of people that keeps us at the forefront of sustainability in disc golf — but it wasn't always that way.

I started Trash Panda in 2020 out of my garage in Littleton, Colorado.. but the idea for Trash Panda really came in 2008.

As a passionate disc golfer, I started to wonder why more recycled plastics weren’t used in the sport—like what about a disc made from trash found in a landfill? or the ocean?!

So naturally… I did nothing.

For 12 years, I waited for someone else to do something.

Over that time, I became a content consumer (read: I watch way too much YouTube), I grew as a maker, I started to give a damn about our planet, and I became (even more) enamored with disc golf. The collision of these things slowly laid the groundwork for Trash Panda—which is now equal parts my passion and my pleasure.

From day one, Trash Panda has been—and will always be—a movement of people committed to growing the sport sustainably.

Welcome to the movement.
