Columbia’s Rethreads program encourages consumers to bring in their used clothing and shoes of any brand in clean, dry condition, to our participating retail stores to be given a new life. Find a Columbia store near you, here.
Garments and footwear that are dropped in ReThreads bins in each Columbia store, will be sent to a textiles processing facility through I:CO, a textile recycling solutions provider. The products are then sorted, reprocessed, and reused or recycled. Items that are still wearable find new homes through the second-hand market. Unwearable items are reused for products like cleaning cloths or recycled into fibers for new products such as insulation, carpet padding, stuffing for toys and even new fabrics.
