The 'Recycle Me' Collection Has a Lot of Heart

— April 5, 2010 — Social Good
No, the 'Recycle Me Collection' isn't a clothing line for the new movie Repo Men (though that does look like a cool film concept). This is a line of t-shirts that help raise awareness about organ donation. This is a subject that seems far too often glazed over, yet holds vital importance to the health of our society.

The 'Recycle Me' Collection, which was started by Pamela Lindgren, is a non-profit organization, with all the proceeds from the clothes going to Professor Lars-Erik
Gelin Memorial Foundation for Transplant Research.

As well as being a charitable tool, these shirts also act as a point of education to enlighten people on the issue of organ shortage at hospitals and clinics. As there is are far too few donor applicants, these shirts hope to inspire people to donate if they can.
Trend Themes
1. Charitable Fashion - The 'Recycle Me Collection' is an example of how fashion can be used for charitable purposes, presenting opportunities for other fashion brands to explore socially responsible initiatives.
2. Social Awareness Apparel - T-shirts, like the 'Recycle Me Collection', can be a powerful tool for raising awareness and educating people on important social issues that might otherwise be overlooked.
3. Sustainable Philanthropy - The 'Recycle Me Collection' is proof that sustainable and philanthropic initiatives can go hand in hand, encouraging other organizations to seek out similar partnerships with charities and non-profits.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can benefit from engaging in charitable initiatives and raising social awareness like the 'Recycle Me Collection', which can improve brand reputation and reach new audiences.
2. Non-profit - The 'Recycle Me Collection' serves as an example of how non-profit organizations can collaborate with brands to generate funds for their cause, creating mutually beneficial partnerships.
3. Healthcare - The 'Recycle Me Collection' highlights the ongoing need for organ donors in healthcare, presenting opportunities for healthcare brands and organizations to create education and awareness campaigns on the subject.
