Common Threads Garment Recycling

Instead of tossing that old shirt, you might be able to recycle it with the Patagonia Common Threads Garment Recycling Program.
This program, started in 2005, has expanded over the years, from one recyclable item to many recyclable clothing items.
Recyclable garments currently include: 

Capilene Performance Baselayers
Patagonia fleece
Polartec fleece clothing (from any maker)
Patagonia cotton T-shirts
Some additional polyester and nylon 6 products (the ones that come with a Common Threads tag)

Once Patagonia receives clothing, they use a fiber-to-fiber recycling system to make new
Men’s, Women’s, and Kids’ clothing from the old.
To recycle you can mail items to:
Patagonia Service Center
ATTN: Common Threads Recycling Program

Patagonia: Men’s Organic Clothing

Yesterday we looked at Apparel of the Earth, a nice place to find men’s organic cotton clothing.
Now, let’s wander over to Patagonia. They are a bit more pricey than Apparel of the Earth, and you can’t assume all of their organic clothing is 100% organic cotton (some of it is a blend). They are still worth checking out, unless you’re just a total city slicker.
