Let's Talk About Us

At Green Team, we’re more than just a company.
We’re a group of people who believe in the power of recycling and the difference it makes.
Our aim is simple: make textile recycling easy and accessible for everyone.
We work every day to keep clothes out of landfills, support local communities, and build a cleaner, greener future.

The Challenge

  • Every year in the U.S., 11.3 million tons of clothes and shoes are thrown into landfills.
  • The average American discards 81 pounds of clothing annually.
  • Only 15% of used textiles are recycled or reused. The remaining 85% are burned or dumped.
Our challenge is clear:
STOP CLOTHING FROM ENDING UP IN LANDFILLS AND GIVE IT A SECOND LIFE

200M poundsof textile waste prevented

Since 2015, we have collected over 200 million pounds of textile across the United States of America.
All these clothes and shoes did not end up in the landfills, but helped someone else to live a better life.

Textile Waste in Numbers

The annual recycling of 2 million tons of textiles equates to taking 600,000 cars off the US streets.
Producing the clothes in one household creates as much carbon as driving a regular car for 6,000 miles.
The U.S. produces 34 billion pounds of post-consumer textile waste per year.
Only about 15% of it gets recycled, which means that the vast majority gets incinerated or ends up in landfills.
