Patagonia

Patagonia is redefining waste through their Common Thread Garment Recycling Program. Customers can bring back their old and worn Patagonia clothes by dropping them off in the "Drop Your Drawers" box at any Patagonia store. These garments are broken down and then transformed into new clothes. Their goal is to make all their clothes recyclable by 2010.

Waste? is a ongoing documentary series, which features people redefining waste from canners scouring the streets for redeemables; to engineers powering their breweries with waste water; to architects constructing homes out of tires.
