Do you have a pile (or piles) of old T-Shirts that you don't want
anymore, but that are are taking up space in your home? Today I have
the solution for you!
ReTees is a company that takes your old unwanted t-shirts and recycles them into great green products. Why T Shirts? In today's age of disposable clothing, the T Shirt reigns supreme. They are cheap, cheerful and "fast food fashion". In fact, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, an estimated 11.8 million tons of textiles were generated in 2006, or 5 percent of total municipal solid waste. The company has other great facts out on their site about why they are focused on t-shirts. https://www.reteez.com/facts.php
Today's tip came from my HARO newsletter (Help a Reporter Out - If you want some of the best media leads around - check out www.helpareporterout.com - It is free!) As Peter states
"ReTeez - And quite frankly, this is cool as anything! Care about the environment? Want some awesome holiday gifts? Check out ReTeez - a fun and funky Canadian company that creates fabulous items from discarded T-Shirts. As a runner, I've got HUNDREDS of shirts. I've checked out their signature T Shirt tote bags and found everything from Jimi Hendrix to Hello Kitty and Krispy Kreme to Hillary Clinton. Guaranteed to be an original! The problem is that when we tire of that cute little number, it has a good chance of rotting away in landfill sites. So make some one happy and do some good this Holiday season! ReTeez offers free shipping on all orders of $50 or more within North America. What are you waiting for? Check out www.reteez.com now!"
This intrigued me so I thought I would go check them out... It is really COOL! They take used t-shirts and turn them into all kinds of different things. Here are some snap shots of a few of their "upcycles"
They will pay your shipping to send them your shirts for reuse. https://www.reteez.com/pages.php?pID=2
