Patagonia is one of those companies that are hard not to like. Dan and I recently purchased Patagonia's first ever 100% recycled nylon shell jacket.
In April, I wrote about their reusable shopping bag, Carry Y'all Bag, made from their clothing remnants. I was disappointed that they weren't available this season. Six phone calls and one email later, Patagonia told me it was available via mail order!
Patagonia gives their patrons many opportunities to be environmentally conscious. If you're looking for a new jacket for rock climbing, mountaineering, ice climbing and/or lazing about check out Patagonia's long list of recycled clothing and outwear.
If you're not looking for more technical swag and looking to empty your closet and not fill it - donate it! Patagonia will recycle it's own old clothing and turn it into new!
Patagonia Common Threads Description:
How to Recycle
Recycling old Patagonia garments is easy. Simply wash them first and use one of the following collection methods:
1. Mail them to the Patagonia Service Center at
Patagonia Service Center
ATTN: Common Threads Recycling Program
8550 White Fir Street
Reno, NV 89523-8939
2. Drop them off at the Patagonia Retail Store nearest you or at one of our Performance Baselayer Dealers – ideally, while you're running other errands, to reduce environmental impact.
Please note: Recycling your old clothes is voluntary. If you choose to recycle, you'll gain the satisfaction of knowing that your old polyester garments will not end up in a landfill or an incinerator, and that future Patagonia products will require significantly less virgin polyester (less oil) than products from seasons past.
