Clothing Recycling Services

Marine Layer, a San Francisco-based apparel brand, and Trashie, a pioneering recycling platform, have joined forces to redefine sustainable fashion. Their collaboration enhances the clothing life cycle through innovative upcycling, recycling, and take-back programs. The partnership expands Marine Layer's Re-Spun program, launched in 2018 to upcycle t-shirts, by integrating Trashie's Take Back Bag initiative, facilitating the recycling of clothing, accessories, and linens from any brand.

Customers can engage in this eco-conscious initiative by purchasing a Re-Spun Take Back Bag for $20, filling it with unwanted items, and returning it for a $40 Marine Layer credit. This collaboration significantly scales recycling efforts, with Trashie's advanced platform sorting materials into 253 grades, ensuring 90% of collected items avoid landfills.

This initiative not only promotes the circular economy but also offers a tangible solution to the fashion industry's environmental impact. By incentivizing consumers to participate in life cycle programs, Marine Layer and Trashie are setting a new standard for sustainability in fashion, demonstrating that responsible consumption and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.
