Incentivized Recycling Hoodies

The SIXR ‘For Tomorrow’ Hoodie Rewards Consumers for Recycling

The SIXR ‘For Tomorrow’ hoodie has been developed as an alternative to fast fashion garments that incentivizes consumers to recycle the garment after use rather than simply throwing it away.

Created by SIXR and George Brown Collection, the hoodie features a simple design that has a QR code on the inside for easy scanning when the garment is no longer wanted or functional. This will provide consumers with information on how to ship it back to the company, which will in turn result in money that can be applied towards a new garment.

The SIXR ‘For Tomorrow’ hoodie identifies how a closed loop fashion economy could be created and can be scaled by having brands incorporate QR codes into their products for recycling at end of life.
