If you’re looking to replace a worn out jacket or fleece this autumn you’ve not long to wait until our new stock arrives! What are you going to do with your old one though? It’s better to repair and reuse but if it’s really threadbare then do your best to avoid landfill – check out recycling in your area.
Patagonia have been taking back worn out Patagonia garments via their retail partners since 2005 and at Countryside Ski & Climb we are proud to be part of their Common Threads Partnership here in the UK. Today you can return any (clean) worn out Patagonia product and they will re-use it or recycle it into new fabric or a new product.
Fortunately, our recycle bin is taking its time to fill up. This is primarily because Patagonia’s clothing is built to last but also because people always have a good rummage around in it like it’s a lucky dip. How good is that?
