lets talk about this... I was bombed on Instagram about "For Days Take Back Bag." You pay $20 and they give you a bag to fill up with old recycled fabrics and they give you $20 back in "Closet Cash."
I caved and I bought two bags since I had a pile of old sheets and clothes lying in my garage I didn't know what to do with...I felt kinda weird after I purchased it.. I wasnt really getting a discount... I already paid them $40 for these recycling bags. If I never used their "Closet Cash" or purchased anything from their website, I'm still short $40. If i never recycled anything and just kept the bags, I'm still short $40.. Seems like I just gave them $40.
I think this is a total scam preying on my environmental guilt, to buy clothing on their website. I could have easily found a local recycling center online or shelter to donate these old sheets and fabrics.
Now I'm forced to buy something from their website.... They have pretty infographics that seem like theyre a company doing good for the environment with texts like this:
" Since 2018, we’ve recycled 4 tons of used For Days clothing. These are currently being made into 100% Closed Loop Collections, which will be launching soon. "
...ok its 2023. where is this line?
" 10% of all returned For Days oldies are resold"
..ok what is an OLDIE? i dont see a used section in their website.
anyway.. I'm done with my thoughts.. Their "Circular fashion" concept is just plain ole consumerism IMO. let me know yours.
