This episode took me to the Eileen Fisher Renew sorting facility, located near downtown Seattle. This is one of two of their renew facilities, where they process all of the clothing that they take back from customers when they are done with the items. This takeback program begin in 2009 and was one of the first of its kind. 

I toured the facility, learned about the processes and talked with three incredible women that work for Renew. This episode was recorded in the Spring of 2019 but is more relevant now than ever, as we sit in the midst of this global pandemic and see companies rethinking business as usual. Join me in learning about an innovative company and a few tips for how you can help to reduce the impact of your own apparel decisions. 

Recorded March 2019 at the Eileen Fisher Renew sorting facility in Seattle, WA.
