Transforming Fashion Waste into Opportunity
Discover how Freedom Distribution is leading the charge in reducing textile waste and promoting sustainable practices in the retail industry.
According to statistics, we produce around 11 million tons of textile waste every year. The fashion industry is a significant contributor to global waste. While the negative effects of waste on our environment are becoming increasingly apparent, there are actionable steps that can be taken to mitigate its impact.
Here at Freedom Distribution, we endorse and support many companies across our nation that promote the ideals of Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle. We are proud to incorporate these same ideals in our business practices. To minimize the impact on the carbon footprint, our team works with companies that offer Sustainable Solutions.
Reusable Recycled Shopping Bags
Each year, Americans dispose of approximately 100 billion plastic bags- roughly 307 bags per person. This significant environmental impact can be mitigated by adopting reusable shopping bags. At Freedom we produce beautiful reusable, branded shopping bags crafted from 100% recycled polypropylene, consistently supporting the advancement of preserving our environment.
Recycled Hangers
We help reduce waste by providing quality recycled hangers, allowing our retail partners to cut costs with used options. This approach keeps materials out of landfills, supports source reduction by decreasing the need for new plastic hangers. It lessens the demand for resources such as fuel, forests, and water, thereby protecting wildlife habitats, and also lowers air and water pollution.

Thrifting for slightly used or donated items provides an excellent opportunity to find unique and affordable pieces while contributing to the reduction of textile waste. By choosing to shop at thrift stores, individuals can make a positive impact on the environment and support sustainable practices. This responsible approach to shopping helps keep items out of landfills, conserves resources, and promotes a circular economy that benefits both the planet and the community.
Recycled Hangers
We help reduce the carbon footprint by providing quality recycled hangers from major department stores, allowing our retail partners to cut costs. This approach keeps materials out of landfills and supports reduction by decreasing the need for new plastic hangers. This not only lessens the demand for resources such as fuel, forests, and water but also protects wildlife habitats. Additionally, it lowers air and water pollution, contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment. By choosing our recycled hangers, businesses can play a significant role in promoting sustainable practices and fostering a circular economy.
