Trashie

As the Palisades and Eaton fires devastated the greater LA region, a quieter problem was smoldering. Motivated by good intentions, residents donated clothing in volumes that far exceeded the humanitarian need and inundated aid organizations with textile waste. Rather than incinerate or landfill this overwhelming volume of donated — and in many cases — discarded clothing, Trashie?stepped up to mobilize volunteers to collect, sort, and redirect these materials toward sustainable and responsible recycling pathways. We were deeply honored and humbled to collaborate with?Trashie?to supply their volunteers with our 100% recycled cotton hoodies as they worked tirelessly to divert mountains of textile that would have otherwise extended the fires’ harmful impact on environmental and human health. #lafires?#climate?#textilerecycling?#everywhere

Great news for the future of sustainable fashion! ???? More states are stepping up with regulations that hold companies accountable for take-back, reuse, repair, and recycling programs — a huge win for both the industry and consumers. As reported by Fashion Dive, these policies will push brands to close the loop on textile waste, creating more opportunities for consumers to recycle and, ideally, access more sustainable products. ?? This shift signals real progress toward a circular economy in fashion — one where responsibility doesn’t end at checkout. Excited to see how brands innovate to meet these new standards! #SustainableFashion #CircularEconomy #TextileRecycling #FashionRegulations

With the help of about 100 amazing volunteers, Trashie packed up 40,000 lbs of excess donated clothing at the Santa Anita Park—enough to fill a 53’ semi from floor to ceiling! These clothes are on their way to be sorted, graded, and either sent back out for reuse or responsibly recycled. We’re truly grateful for the outpouring of support today and the opportunity to be there for LA when it’s needed most https://lnkd.in/gf2CEs36

Trashie has received outreach from dozens of organizations seeking assistance with excess clothing donations that have overwhelmed their teams and operations. Our first stop is a pick-up at the Santa Anita Park parking lot, where hundreds of pounds of excess donations have accumulated. Our team will be collecting these donations, transporting them to our collection facility, and sorting and categorizing them. In the coming weeks, we will work to provide pre-sorted, quality used clothing to vetted aid partners serving populations affected by the fires, tailored to each partner’s specific needs. If you’re in the LA area and available to help load trucks, we’d love your support! Please join us tomorrow at Santa Anita Park at 8:30 AM to assist with loading in the morning. I'll be there! https://lnkd.in/g5HRtMd4

Trashie in Fast Company: "In a single year, Trashie has been remarkably successful... It has sold more than 600,000 Take Back Bags across all 50 states, collecting more than 8 million items and diverting 4 million pounds from landfills. The company, which now has 28 employees, recently launched a 'Tech Take Back Box' to collect everything from laptops to phone cards. It expects to collect at least 2 million pounds of e-waste this upcoming year, and even more textiles." Thanks to Elizabeth Segran, Ph.D. for the great writeup! https://lnkd.in/eidqr-fH
