Our Story
Trash Panda was born
from a simple idea:
to make discs from 100% recycled plastic
Because a sport that lives for the outdoors should live to protect it, too.
And it’s that simple idea that led Jesse to quit his job, build a makeshift injection machine in his garage, and start a YouTube channel to document the journey.
Well as it turns out, disc golfers around the world wanted to help make the dream of sustainable discs a reality 🤘
5 years later, and that journey has resulted in 👇
And we're just getting started.
And we're just getting started.
Since those garage days, Trash Panda has grown to a dedicated team working to grow the sport sustainably each and every day:
