Let's Get Circular
The Circular Economy
AKA “let’s use up good materials and products instead of tossing them in landfills.”
What is the circular economy?
Simply put, a circular system focuses on growth, steers us away from using finite resources, and eliminates waste by promoting resources that can be funneled back into the system. Because when you throw something “away,” there’s really no such place.
We’ve partnered with thredUP to turn your next closet clean-out into a win for you and the planet. Send in your clothes (from any brand) to give them a second life and get a Toad&Co credit in return. Yep, it’s that easy.
Out with the New, in with the Old
Producing new apparel – especially denim – uses a lot of water, energy and materials. So what better way to help the planet than continuing to wear the clothing that has already been produced? We've curated a line of our favorite vintage finds. Good for your closet, and good for the planet.
