What

The Blue Jeans Go Green™ program collects denim (made from cotton) so that it can be recycled back to its natural fiber state and transformed into something new.

​

Color Fairport Green is coordinating a denim recycling drive in collaboration with the Blue Jeans Go Green™ program during the entire month of May 2021.

​

Why

Every year nearly 16 million tons of textile waste are sent to landfills and forgotten.

To help divert textile waste from landfills, Cotton’s Blue Jeans Go Green™ program recycles old denim, made from cotton, and turns it into something new! Have an old pair of jeans, let’s put them to good use!
