Why is it better to use a Take Back Bag than other donation options?Updated a year ago
85% of ALL textiles end up in landfills. That includes resale, recycling, and donation efforts. If you send used items to us through our Take Back Bag, they go through a sorting and grading process with our recycling partners to determine their next best life.
Most of the time that involves breaking down used product, turning it into pulp, and spinning new yarn. This process produces almost zero greenhouse gas and requires no water. For Days then takes that yarn and turns it into new proprietary fabrics and products.
If items cannot be recycled or resold, it is downcycled to materials like shoddy that are used for insulation. Anything that is sent back to us never ends up in a landfill, and you get credit for future For Days purchases in the form of TrashieCash.
