It’s decluttering day, and you find yourself with piles of clothing that you know you won’t be wearing anymore. If you’re looking for ways to give away worn clothing other than throwing them in the trash, here are sustainable fashion brands that take back your clothing for recycling or donations. Give your clothes a new life, and be rewarded with extra store credit and a sustainable contribution to reducing waste. Learn more about how these brands are sustainable on the ConsiderBeyond app.
