Discover small ways you can make a big difference + gear up for the season with a special discount on FreeCycle outerwear.
November 15th is America Recycles Day, and what better way to celebrate than by giving your wardrobe an eco-savvy makeover? As the temperature drops and we prepare for the chilly months ahead, it's the perfect time to embrace eco-conscious practices and make a positive impact on the environment. Here are some easy things you can do to ensure a more sustainable future, one stylish step at a time!
Why Recycling Matters
Recycling isn't just about convenience, it's a lifeline for our planet. Did you know that a whopping 8 million tons of plastic ends up in our oceans yearly? If we don't change our habits, experts predict there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050.
Recycle Old Winter Gear
Before making a new seasonal purchase, take a moment to go through your closet—check for coats, gloves, scarves or sweaters that are still in decent condition but no longer fit or suit your style. Many communities host textile recycling programs and clothing banks that gladly accept gently used winter gear. Your donations will provide essential warmth to those in need. Better yet, every piece of apparel you recycle helps reduce the 92 million tons of textile waste that ends up in landfills annually.
Reduce Waste & Preserve Nature
Picture unspoiled trails, clean lakes and fresh mountain air—that's the beauty of nature we must preserve. With the simple act of recycling, you’re taking the necessary steps to guarantee that future generations can continue to enjoy the great outdoors. America Recycles Day serves as the ideal reminder to make mindful choices, such as giving garments a second life and buying environmentally-friendly clothing.

Speaking of sustainable style, our FreeCycle line transforms waste into wearable eco-conscious adventure wear. Plastic bottles are collected, cleaned and converted into high-quality fibers, which are then spun, and air-jet textured into yarn. The result is performance-packed high-quality fills and fabrics—all applied to our versatile designs that prioritize functionality, fashion and comfort. Since its launch in 2019, the collection has saved more than 55 million plastic bottles from landfills!
