Take Back Bags are the world's most sustainable polymailer. Made of 100% recycled content (50% post consumer & 50% post industrial), they are fully recyclable, and 100% of returned Take Back Bags are recycled.
Why is it better to use a Take Back Bag than other donation options?
85% of ALL textiles end up in landfills and the average American throws away 80lbs of clothing a year. That includes resale, recycling, and donation efforts. If you send used items to For Days in the TBB, they go through a sorting and grading process with recycling partners to determine their next best life.
What happens to items sent back in the Take Back Bag?
50% of all Take Back Bag items are downcycled into shoddy, rags & insulation. Take Back Bag items are not upcyclable because they are made from unknown materials. So, they are turned into lesser-quality items like insulation or carpeting. Leigh Fibers and Phoenix Fibers are two of our expert down-cycling partners.
45% of all Take Back Bag items are resold to partners that service lower income communities. What this looks like: farmers in other countries accessing low-cost items to cover themselves against the sun.
5% of all Take Back Bag items are sadly, truly trash (think: plastic hangers)
