THANK YOU! Our Fashion Revolution Week Denim Drive for @discovercotton's #BlueJeansGoGreen recycling effort was a huge success! When we first brought the conversation to @steubenhabitat 200 pieces of denim was what we were hoping for here in Hector. @corningrestore's vision brought our goal way higher, and although we did not collect 2,000 pieces (the amount it takes to create enough insulation for an entire home) we easily smashed our original dream in triplicate! With the help of @twogoatsbrewing, @rastaranchvineyards, @wink106fm and Corning Catering we had a FUNdraiser to help cover shipping costs at Corning ReStore and now that we're all sorted, counted and packed up, three pallets of unwanted denim is ready to ship to Chandler, Arizona. There it will be processed and recycled into @ultratouchrd, denim insulation for homes and buildings! Our denim drop off sites were enormously instrumental in this effort and we truly couldn't have done this without the help everyone involved! Big thanks to @connorsmercantile @properetiquettemodernvintage @glenmountainmarket @hectorhandmade and @rastaranchvineyards for hosting collection bins, you brought in and rescued so much denim from the landfill! We hope @habitatforhumanity builds will enjoy insulation grants from these fibers for many years! Also, big thanks to @roundrabbit who helped sort, count and pack - we definitely collected over 1,000 pieces of denim, but at least 25% of the haul was not eligible for recycling because it was not 90-100% cotton, which is required content for the recycling process. 👖 🚜 📦 🚛 ♻️ 🏡 . . . @fash_rev #denimdrive #ultratouchdeniminsulation #sustainablestyle #unwanteddenim #recycleddenim #deniminsulation #sustainablebuilding #denim #sustainablesolutions #recycle #rethink #reuse #circulareconomy #closedloop #fashionlifecycle #endoffashionlifecycle #solutions #buildingmaterials #sustainableinsulation #recycledinsulation #flxfibers #flx #flxfamily (at Rasta Ranch Vineyards) https://www.instagram.com/p/BynAeK8lrZ9/?igshid=199a1s1s8m3rc
