Patagonia's Common Thread Garment Recycling

Did you know that you can recycling some types of performance clothing? Through it's Common Thread Recycling Program, Patagonia recycles certain types of clothing into new clothing using a "fiber-to-fiber" process. They accept Patagonia® fleece, Polartec® fleece clothing (from any maker), Patagonia cotton T-shirts, and some additional polyester and nylon 6 products. Clothing can be mailed in or dropped off at any Patagonia Store.
The only Patagonia retail store in Minnesota is located at 1648 Grand Ave in St Paul.
