RE:THREADS
Every year, 92 million tons of garments are thrown in landfills.
Each garment is only worn an average of 7-10 times before being thrown away.
Roughly 10% of microplastics that end up in the ocean each year come from textiles, or the equivalent to dumping 50 billion plastic bottles.
re:threads solves these issues by:
re:cycling
re:purposing
re:introducing
By taking textile donations, re:threads leverages its network of ethical recycling and second-hand clothing companies to recycle your old/unused textiles, giving them a new home and a new life.
By partnering with sustainable manufactures/companies and artists, we give old garments new meaning by repurposing them into other products like mattresses, sofas, and even upcycle them into new clothing!
By using our e-commerce platform, we reintroduce sustainable fashion brands and provide these retailers a centralized online presence to empower small-to-medium sized businesses and encourage consumers to buy sustainably!
