Building on three decades of disruptive evolution, System 0™ is our circularity program. System 0™ reimagines how gear is designed, the materials we use, how we keep our products in play through ReBIRD™, and what happens to them at the end of their usable lives; all while maintaining our standards for durability and performance.
No single product or service is fully circular on its own. It is the ecosystem of products and services that can bring circularity to life.
For the duration of System 0™ Week, the ReBIRD™ Service Center downstairs at Arc'teryx SoHo becomes the System 0™ Greenhouse, a living installation that brings together lush greenery and upcycled creations by Arc'teryx ambassador and multidisciplinary designer Nicole McLaughlin.
Open to the public during regular store hours, the space invites exploration, reflection, and discovery beyond scheduled events. No registration required.
Join us in kicking off System 0 Week with a special film night featuring a screening of Continuum, alongside the World Premiere of a new project from our ReBIRD™ team. Take the evening to explore our Greenhouse space, connect with others passionate about sustainability, and enjoy light bites and drinks as we celebrate the intersection of creativity, community, and environmental responsibility.

Six professional athletes take a remade tent on a winter journey showcasing not only high level skiing and snowboarding in iconic winter destinations, but also, exploring what’s possible for remade goods in the outdoors and beyond.
When you adventure hard, things happen. A tear, a failing zipper, or a shell that’s stopped beading water doesn’t mean your gear is done.
Join us for a hands-on ReBIRD™ Gear Care Workshop and learn how to care for and repair your outdoor gear to help keep it in action for the adventures ahead.
You’ll learn how to evaluate your gear and identify the right care or repair approach, with hands-on guidance covering common quick fixes like zipper slider repairs, minor patching and abrasion remediation, washing and DWR maintenance.
Space for this hands-on workshop is limited, so claim your spot.
What comes next when a product can no longer serve its original purpose?
In partnership with Nicole McLaughlin and Makayla Wray, Circular by Design™ invites participants to explore that question through a hands-on upcycling workshop focused on creativity, resourcefulness, and circular design.
Working with end-of-life gear and materials, participants will transform retired products into new functional objects, discovering how creativity and thoughtful design can give products a life beyond their original purpose.
Spaces are limited. Enter the draw for a chance to participate. Selected participants will be notified by email.
