Recycling clothing gathers steam

But Ms. Davis, who has a master’s in sustainability from Parsons School of Design, also started the program to educate consumers about the impact their clothing choices have on the environment. She looks at the “about page” for information about where it’s made, who is making it, and where the company sources Lazarev, founder of Green Tree Textiles Recycling, displays recycled fabrics made into insulation at the Stuyvesant Town Greenmarket in New York City on June 9. It also encourages customers to recycle used swimwear by offering a 10% discount for each swimsuit sent back, for up to 30% off their pass by the pop-up shop for Fair Harbor, an apparel company that produces swimwear made out of plastic bottles, in the Brookfield Place shopping center in New York City on June 9.
