Recycled that Polar Fleece to be turned into New Clothing !
I just found out about Patagonia's Polar Fleece Recycling Program ! I am going to pull a Polar Fleece we have in the donation/Goodwill box downstairs and send it to Patagonia. They take polar fleece from any manufacturer and make them into new clothing. Here's the scoop from their site.
Common Threads Garment Recycling
Way too much of what is made these days ends up in the trash at the end of its useful life. At Patagonia, we're working to change that. In 2005, Patagonia launched the Common Threads Garment Recycling Program, through which customers could return their worn out Capilene® Performance Baselayers to us for them to recycle. They've since been able to expand the list of recyclable garments to include worn out Patagonia® fleece, Polartec® fleece clothing (from any maker), Patagonia cotton T-shirts, and now some additional polyester and nylon 6 products that come with a Common Threads tag. Through Common Threads they transform your unusable garments into new clothing, which gets them closer to a long-standing company goal of taking full responsibility for every product they make.
How to Recycle any of the above listed garments:
Simply wash them first and use one of the following collection methods:
1. Mail them to the Patagonia Service Center at

OR
2. Drop them off at the neartest Patagonia Retail Store.
