A couple of weeks ag0 I told you all about how we’re starting the year off by recycling and caring more for the environment since we discovered Repreve–well it’s been 2 weeks and we’re still going strong! To refresh your memory, Repreve turns recycled plastic bottles into cool stuff you can wear and use, like this cute sporty beanie . Now there’s no excuse not to recycle!

A lot of brands you love use Repreve to make their products greener:
• Volcom graphic t-shirts are made with Repreve, using 2 recycled plastic bottles.
• One Patgonia fleece jacket with Repreve has 40 recycled plastic bottles, so you can be a real “active-ist”.
• Life Khaki by Haggar uses Repreve to put 7 recycled plastic bottles in every pair of pants; so wear what you believe.
Other brands made with Repreve: The North Face, Polartec, Patagonia, Beija-Flor, Lauren Conrad’s XO(eco) by Blue Avocado, Swiftwick socks, and more. Those are great brands!
The U.S. plastic bottle recycling rate is less than 30 percent—so less than one-third of all plastic bottles get recycled. Most people don’t think about what happens to plastic bottles after you recycle them. So Repreve is on a mission to get the word out: Just recycle more, and buy Repreve products.
Everyone in our house is used to repurposed decor around the house..I mean, hey, that’s what I do, you know? I will use and reuse craft supplies till I’m blue in the face! However they’re still trying to learn how they can help recycle.
These plastic bags used to go in the trash. Not anymore. Now we reuse them over and over, and over, and over.
Since we learned about Repreve and all that it can do, we are recycling more plastic bottles and cardboard too..
Fun Fact: It takes 6 recycled bottles to make one of these adorable beanies.
