About

Circular Thrift's mission is to make reuse practical by tackling the textile waste crisis on a hyperlocal level while cultivating a global community around sustainability. 

Reduced consumption in our neighborhoods leads to collective impact at a global level and can change how fashion production impacts the environment. Lead this change in your community by hosting swap and mending events and by joining Circular Thrift Community Educational Events. We provide playbooks, advice, a platform to exchange ideas, and a centralized way to track the impact of each community’s efforts.
