Close the Loop: Recycle

Why recycle?

  • places like Goodwill and other common donation centers have more product inflow than sales, causing them to toss textiles into landfills
  • if you have clothes in good condition, you can still donate, or possibly consider giving them to a shelter or food pantry for people in need to take for free
  • recycling is a great way to make sure clothes do not end up in a landfill
  • recycling textiles eliminates the need to produce new textiles for things like insulation

Recycling your textiles can be as easy as printing off a free shipping label, or your can recycle in store for credit!
