I’ve been called a hippy a LOT. I, in fact, prefer to be referred to as ‘crunchy-granola.’ Why? Because that means absolutely nothing to most people. To us it means that we’re very eco- and health-conscious and do things that may seem ‘weird’ to other people.
I love finding companies who share the same philosophies and put them into action, which is why when I was introduced to REPREVE I fell in eco-love!
REPREVE is a recycled fiber that helps turn plastic bottles you recycle into cool stuff you can wear and use every day. 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.
I was already a fan of companies like Patagonia and The North Face for their philosophies on nature and love of the outdoors, so to find out that these companies are also acting responsibly. And it’s nice to hear that all of our recycling efforts are not in vain! Our bottles are being turned into fabric which is being turned into awesome clothes!
REPREVE will take recycling to new heights with a special green event at the 2014 Winter X Games Aspen (Jan. 23-26, 2014).
It’s not just about free swag, though. This is an event with a serious mission: to show the world that we have to get everybody involved in recycling—to create a reprieve for the planet.
The luckiest plastic bottles get made into a recycled fleece beanie made from REPREVE. One REPREVE green beanie is made from 6 recycled plastic bottles! SIX bottles!
I have one of these amazing beanies and it’s been keeping this pixie cut head warm for the last week! Comfort + style + eco-friendly = HUGE win!
PLUS I have a second beanie for one of YOU! Use the rafflecopter widget below to enter to win a REPREVE Fleece Beanie of your own!
Good luck, friends! And keep trying to #TurnItGreen!
I always recycle plastic and since my work doesn’t offer recycling I take my empty plastic bottles home with me to recycle with our home services.
I #TurnItGreen daily by using reusable water bottles & never using plastic!
We recycle as much as possible in our home, including items that require extra work (such as bottle caps, batteries, and gift cards).
That’s neat. We like using tablecloths with recycled bottles in them!
Love this post because I recycle EVERYTHING. I don’t even use paper plates anymore… the less trash, the better!
Ooh I love this! I try to recycle whenever possible, and use reusable containers for water & coffee!
You are a hippy and that hat is super warm and comfortable!
We have reusable shopping bags, water bottles, and coffee/tea mugs. We recycle all of our glass, plastic, cans and cardboard and use any plastic bags for trash can liners.
