Marine Layer Re-Spun Program

Marine Layer's Recycled Clothing Program

The environmental cost of fashion is undeniable: According to the UN’s Geneva Environment Network, “Fashion production makes up 10% of humanity’s carbon emissions, dries up water sources, and pollutes rivers and streams. What’s more, 85% of all textiles go to the dump each year.” 

Marine Layer’s Re-Spun Program seeks to reduce unnecessary clothing production and limit landfill waste! Below, we’ll introduce you to our trusted brand partner and this unique recycling program!

 

How Marine Layer Makes Sustainable Fashion

Marine Layer is a self-described “fabric-obsessed” clothing company that prides itself on apparel that is “so soft it’s absurd.” They create durable athleisure wear that will “feel like [your] old favorite from day 1.” The company pairs this focus on comfort with a strong commitment to sustainability.

This commitment is clear on their detailed Impact Report page, where Marine Layer outlines many of it eco-friendly efforts:

• Using low-impact virgin fibers and recycled materials. Currently, 41% of their products use at least 30% recycled materials.
• Building their supply chain through partnerships with ethical manufacturers
• Donating funds and clothing to nonprofit organizations.
• Encouraging and facilitating T-shirt recycling through their Re-Spun program.

A full PDF version of Marine Layer’s most recent Impact Report is available here. These efforts make Marine Layer a responsible choice for your company’s custom logo apparel.

 

Marine Layer’s Re-Spun Program

Marine Layer practices sustainable manufacturing for their own products, but the company also works to lessen the waste impact of other brands through its ReSpun recycling program. With Re-Spun, you can donate T-shirts from any brand, made of any material, and Marine Layer will find a new use for it! The process is simple:

• Order a ReSpun Take Back Bag from the Marine Layer website.
• Order up to 6 ReSpun Take Back Bags per year, maximum of 3 per order.
• Fill your bag with any old wearables you no longer use, from towels to curtains to clothes.
• Scan the QR code on the back of your Take Back Bag to print your shipping label.
• Send your ReSpun Take Back Bag!
• Marine Layer breaks down your donated pieces and gives them a second life, diverting them from landfills!

Since 2018, the Re-Spun program has kept more than 475,000 T-shirts out of landfills, and Marine Layer’s use of Re-Spun cotton has saved 2.6 billion gallons of water. When you use Marine Layer for your business’s custom clothing, you're supporting a company that is doing its part to protect the environment.

While not all shirts are made of materials that Marine Layer can use for their own products, the company makes sure every donation is put to good use. They work with their recycling products to “make sure even the scraps we can’t use find a new life — whether it’s as housing insulation, fishing nets, or whatever else.”

With their innovative ReSpun program, Marine Layer epitomizes the concept of corporate responsibility. The company truly walks the walk by setting high standards of ethics and sustainability throughout its manufacturing process.
