While there may be some companies lamenting about the "good, old days" when they could do as they pleased, there are some that are helping to redefine how easy (and profitable) green can be. Patagonia is one such example. They encourage customers to recycle unwanted fleece, capilene base layers and organic cotton t-shirts at a local Patagonia store or mail them to their Nevada facility:Patagonia Service Center
Attn: Common Threads Recycling Program
8550 White Fir Street
Reno, NV 89523-8939
From here, Patagonia turns them into new clothes. Saves space in landfills and Patagonia saves on raw material costs. Smart and profitable.
