Take Back Bag

85% of used clothing ends up in the trash due to a broken system fueled by excessive consumption, with a 400% increase in the past two decades. Despite this, clothing collection and recycling methods have not kept pace with demand. Donation organizations and resale platforms are overwhelmed, leading to the more costly and challenging handling of used clothing domestically compared to exporting it. Consequently, much of it is disposed of directly or shipped offshore in bulk, contributing to a waste colonialism issue, exemplified by parking lot recycling bins emptied into bales and sent to Africa.

However, there's a solution: The Take Back Bag™. This innovative approach involves collecting unwanted clothing and textiles directly from people's homes, making recycling easy and rewarding. With a sorting and grading system that weeds out the trash, over 90% of collected clothing finds its next appropriate destination. The aim is to make The Take Back Bag™ the default choice for clothing recycling, fostering significant progress in circularity and driving the systemic change needed for a more sustainable world.
