Trash Collection
To make our 100% Recycled Cotton jersey and fleece clothing, we collect tons of post-industrial cotton waste and turn that into a new yarn without adding any synthetic fibers, chemicals or water. The whole process takes place in North America, starting with the farms where the cotton is grown.

OUR TRASH COLLECTION IS A WORLD FIRST.
THE JERSEY AND FLEECE TEXTILES WE DEVELOPED ARE 100% RECYCLED COTTON.
WE START BY COLLECTING TONS OF POST-INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING WASTE, TURNING THOSE FIBERS, DIRT AND TINY TWIGS INTO A NEW YARN WITHOUT ADDING ANY SYNTHETICS, CHEMICALS OR WATER.
THE ENTIRE PROCESS TAKES PLACE IN NORTH AMERICA, WITH A TRACEABLE SUPPLY CHAIN STARTING WITH THE FARMS WHERE THE COTTON IS GROWN.
EACH PIECE IS KNIT, CUT, SEWN AND DYED IN LOS ANGELES BY WORKERS EARNING ABOVE THE LOCAL MINIMUM WAGE.
WE'RE CONSTANTLY SEEKING NEW WAYS TO APPROACH SUSTAINABILITY IN APPAREL. OUR FOCUS IS ON ETHICAL MANUFACTURING AND TEXTILE INNOVATION, SPECIFICALLY TRANSFORMING WASTE INTO THOUGHTFUL GOODS MADE RESPONSIBLY IN FAIR WAGE FACTORIES.
BY THE TIME THESE 100% ENJOYABLE GARMENTS REACH YOU, AROUND 60 WORKERS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN MAKING IT.
THEIR HEALTH AND STABILITY IS CRITICAL TO THE WELLBEING OF OUR ECOSYSTEM—AND THE WORLD'S. JUST LIKE YOUR WELLBEING IS CRITICAL TO OURS, AND OURS TO WORKERS AND FACTORIES, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
It's sort of a long, rambling version of what Prakash Gokalchand has been saying to us all along:
'All is one.'
WE CREATED THE TRASH COLLECTION BECAUSE HOW THINGS ARE MADE AND CONSUMED NEEDS TO CHANGE. IF YOU'VE READ THIS FAR, MAYBE YOU THINK SO TOO?
EVERYBODY.WORLD IS AN ONGOING EXPERIMENT AND LIKE OUR NAME SAYS, WE WANT AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO PARTICIPATE. WE'RE THINKING THROUGH HOW THAT CAN WORK, SO STAY TUNED VIA OUR MAILING LIST AND ON INSTAGRAM !
