♻️ The Problem

The thrift store model isn't the whole story

Most people default to Goodwill because it's easy and familiar. But a large portion of what you donate never makes it to a local shelf — it gets sorted, baled, and exported overseas, undercutting the clothing economies of developing nations.

What can't be exported? A lot of it ends up in the landfill anyway. Your well-intentioned donation deserves a better outcome.

🌍 Textile dumping harms local economies. Surplus clothing shipped to Ghana, Kenya, and Chile floods local markets, putting small clothing makers permanently out of business.
🏭 Only ~15% gets resold locally. The vast majority of donations get exported or landfilled — not worn by someone in your community.
🪡 Worn clothes can become insulation. Damaged textiles can be recycled into home insulation, industrial rags, and new fiber — if they go to the right place.
💚 Better options exist everywhere. Mutual aid groups, specialty programs, and textile recyclers are in almost every city — and most people have never heard of them.
