For Days Launches Stylish Zero Waste, Closed-Loop Clothing in LA
With the massive amount of waste they make on a daily basis, it’s no secret that businesses should be the first ones to embrace sustainability in order for all of us to see some significant change. One factory will make a bigger impact than a singular household, so if we’re after immediate results, corporations should be pushed to do their part.
The good thing is, aside from existing companies tweaking their procedures to control their waste, new companies are coming out with sustainability at the core of their being. For Days is one of them and they showcase just how easy it can be to cater both to the market’s needs and do it conscientiously.
Touted as a sustainably-focused fashion brand, For Days aims to minimize waste in the production and use of its products. They take an active approach in ensuring that they’re creating a circular economy as they make sure that the purchase of their products does not result in items sent to landfills.
The process of how they work is straightforward: you buy a kit from For Days and they ask you to send back a couple of old items. They will recycle your old clothes for you, saving you from the hassle of finding a good way to dispose of them.

In addition to the items you’ll get, you can also swap the clothes you got for new ones at any time. Even if they’re damaged, stained, or for whatever reason, you might have in mind, they will send you a new piece.
You might be wondering, what’s so special about this startup when you can donate your old stuff to Goodwill anyway? With For Days, you’re better guaranteed that your items won’t become waste. The company works with recycling companies so your old stuff will surely be re-used and repurposed. There are no similar guarantees from donation centers. Also, their service will let you swap the items you got from them for new ones, so you can get more value out of your purchase.
The best part? They offer a wide range of basic items so they’re perfect for those who are trying to be more mindful about their choices. Their pieces are highly versatile, so they can be the perfect picks if you want to pare down your style and closet. They’re made of high-quality and organic materials, too, so you know that you’re not getting something disposable.
