PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — America’s Best Cleaners (ABC) is partnering with Retold Recycling in support of the #NoLandfill movement to reduce textile waste and drive a more sustainable future for fashion.
Launched on January 13, the collaboration will allow Retold to expand its impact by making recycling easier and more accessible through ABC’s network of affiliates.
ABC says its partnership with Retold is built on a shared mission: to tackle textile waste and keep it out of landfills. By combining strengths, ABC believes the two organizations are working toward a more sustainable future and are empowering consumers to make better, more eco-friendly choices.
As part of the collaboration, Retold is launching a new product — Three Bags in a Box — which contains three compostable Retold bags, packaged in a giftable box. This product, Retold says in the press release announcing the partnership, offers eco-conscious consumers a convenient way to recycle their textiles while also serving as a sustainable gifting option. ABC affiliates will offer the product directly to their customers, increasing the availability and convenience of textile recycling.
“At Retold Recycling, our mission and vision for the future is #NoLandfill,” says Retold Co-founder and CEO Amelia Trumble. “This is why we are so thrilled to partner with America’s Best Cleaners to be our launch partner selling Retold’s Three Bags in a Box in participating members’ dry cleaners stores. The nucleus for this collaboration came directly from Mark Cuban from our episode of ‘Shark Tank’ when he decreed that Retold bags should be sold in dry cleaners nationwide.”
Retold accepts a wide range of textiles, including clothing, shoes, accessories and household items like towels and bedding. Its recycling processes occur within the United States, ensuring transparency and control over the ethical handling of materials, the organization says.
“Our partnership with Retold Recycling is an exciting opportunity for America’s Best Cleaners affiliates to take a bold step toward a truly circular textile economy,” says ABC Executive Director Chris White. “By working together and championing the #NoLandfill commitment, we’re creating innovative solutions to extend the lifecycle of garments and reduce environmental impact. This collaboration underscores our dedication to sustainability and positions our affiliates as leaders in driving meaningful change in the textile care industry.”
