Girlfriend Collective creates recycling platform
20/08/2019
Clothes are shredded at a partner facility in North Carolina, where the spandex is removed.
“Closing the loop and making your pieces completely renewable is the holy grail for clothing —
we believe this is the future,” says Quang Dinh, co-founder of Girlfriend Collective.
“We want to upcycle water bottles and recycle clothes. We upcycle single-use water bottles into clothing you can reuse and wear for years — now we’re going to be able to recycle that clothing into new clothes.”
Customers in the US can buy a shipping label and post garments back to the company. They will then receive a voucher for $15 off their next purchase.
