Green Clothing Company to Recyle 100%

Check out this amazing clothing company! Patagonia, headquartered in California, USA, plans to recycle 100% of its merchandise by 2010. The company initiated the Common Threads Garment Recycling Program in 2005 by which customers can return Capilene Performance Baselayer clothes they no longer use. The garments are then made into new items by a fiber manufacturer. Patagonia also recycles its fleece, as well as 100% cotton T-shirts, and some polyester jackets, nylong clothes, and shorts. Since the start of the Common Threads project, 6000 KG of apparel has been recycled and even more has been collected. By autumn 2009, 80% of its clothing will be recyclable through the program. Wouldn't it be great if all clothing company can do the same? Way to go, Patagonia!
