Sock Recycling Programs

GOLDTOE will Reward Customers for Recycling Their Old Socks

— March 30, 2023 — Eco
GOLDTOE® Socks, a leader in crafting modern, durable socks, has partnered with TerraCycle®, an international recycling leader, to launch its Free Recycling Program ahead of Earth Month. This program offers people an easy way to recycle used socks from any brand, which will then be made into new products. In return, users will be rewarded with points that can be used as donations to non-profits, schools, or charitable organizations of their choice.

The GOLDTOE® Free Recycling Program is open to any interested individual, office, or community organization. Participants can mail in used socks of any brand using the prepaid shipping label provided, found on the TerraCycle website. Once collected, the fabrics are separated into their respective categories (polyesters, cottons, etc.) and reused, upcycled, or recycled as appropriate.

This recycling program aligns with growing societal demand for sustainability and environmental responsibility. By offering a convenient and easy way to recycle used socks, GOLDTOE® is demonstrating its commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Furthermore, the rewards points system encourages participants to donate to non-profit organizations, schools, or charitable organizations of their choice, further enhancing the positive impact of the program.
