In short
Yes, SKRP makes its products in Canada, in Ottawa, ON. It makes sunglasses, wallets, watches, coasters and totes made from recycled boards and billboards. The company is Canadian owned.
SKRP rescues broken skateboards, snowboards and old billboard vinyl and turns them into sunglasses, wallets, coasters and pouches. The idea started when the founder saw rings made from old skate decks on a trip to Nova Scotia, and the company says it has now given more than 1,500 boards a second life.
