Reducing and Reusing Wherever Possible

Like polyester, virgin nylon fiber is made from crude oil. The recycled nylon we use in some of our products comes from post-industrial waste fiber and yarn collected from a spinning factory and processed into reusable nylon fiber.

Benefits of recycled nylon:

  • Uses no crude oil
  • Requires less energy and creates less CO2 pollution than virgin nylon
  • Reduces discards and incinerator emissions
  • Recyclable again at the end of its life

Join us in the Common Threads Initiative

We agree to build useful things that last, to repair what breaks and recycle what comes to the end of its useful life. You agree to buy only what you need (and will last), repair what breaks, reuse (sell or share) what you no longer need and recycle everything else. Together we can reduce our environmental footprints.
