Fast fashion has created a clothing surplus so big that our great-great-great-great-grandkids would still have enough if all production halted today. In the US alone, 11 million tons go to the landfill annually—about 2,160 pieces of clothing every second. Supplying the reuse market is how we can help make good use of preloved clothes at a large scale.
Cycla doesn't only collect your old t-shirts and jeans—they're orchestrating a rescue operation for textiles. Founded by women who grew up in the thrift store business, they know exactly how to give your clothes the best second life possible. Cycla connects your textiles to a network of buyers and sellers, prioritizing US-based thrift stores and then an eco-friendly global network to minimize waste. And those plastic Ridwell bags you fill with reusable clothes and shoes? Cycla sends them straight to Trex to become decking! Also a philanthropic organization endorsing a range of local and international causes, Cycla isn’t just managing textile waste—they're reimagining what's possible when we think beyond the landfill.
