SUAY is investing in skilled laborers and creating a truly transparent textile recycling, reuse, and repair model that serves everyone.
As our global community demands change from corporations, our dedication to design, coupled with a drive for activism, is putting reclaimed product at the center of a social, economic and environmental revolution. Cultivating upcycling as the priority (over new) will not only massively impact our planet, but our daily quality of life.
SUAY IT FORWARD is a fully circular textile recycling program that collects textile waste from the community, repurposing it into remade apparel and home goods by SUAY.
Since its inception in 2017, SUAY has diverted over 3.7 million pounds of textiles from landfills through this manually powered recycling process.
If you are local, please come into SUAY to fill-a-bag. Due to our fire relief response efforts, our mail-in program is currently on pause. You can sponsor a bag to support our commitment to upcycle the 120,000 lbs. of textiles we collected from the LA fire relief efforts. We are committed to turning them into 10,000 remade garments and will reach our goal with your support!
