Outdoor gear brands are increasingly offering repair and trade-in programs, addressing the environmental impact of textile waste. With the average US resident generating over 100 pounds of textile waste annually, initiatives by brands like Fjallraven—offering care guides and repair kits—and The North Face—with its warranty and Renewed program—help extend gear lifespan and promote sustainability. These programs not only encourage responsible consumption but also foster a culture of circularity, crucial as the apparel industry threatens significant carbon emissions if fast fashion continues unchecked.
The North Face and Fjallraven showcase the rise of repair and trade-in programs in outdoor gear, promoting longevity and sustainability in a world facing textile waste crisis.
Brands like Fjallraven and The North Face are not just selling products; they're advocating a shift towards a sustainable model that emphasizes repair and resale over consumption.
