SleeveCycle is a nonprofit initiative focused on reducing plastic waste generated by trading card collecting. Many hobby supplies — including sleeves, rigid holders, and packaging materials — are made from plastics that are difficult to recycle through traditional municipal systems. SleeveCycle works to collect these materials, extend their useful life through reuse, and connect them with responsible recycling pathways. Through community participation and education, SleeveCycle aims to create a more sustainable future for the hobby.

Millions of plastic sleeves, holders, and wrappers are used in the trading card hobby every year. Most of these materials are not accepted in curbside recycling programs and often end up in landfills. SleeveCycle was created to provide collectors with a responsible alternative. By collecting and redistributing reusable supplies and developing recycling pathways for hobby plastics, SleeveCycle helps make the hobby more sustainable.

SleeveCycle is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing landfill waste in the trading card hobby through reuse, recycling, and environmental education. We collect hobby plastics such as card sleeves, top loaders, and packaging materials and ensure they are reused whenever possible or responsibly recycled when reuse is not possible.
