Since 2008, Rethink Fabrics has been redefining the standard for producing high quality garments with the environment in mind. Our story begins with a bottle count of each garment. Rethink manufactures and distributes apparel produced entirely from recycled plastic bottles. By exclusively focusing on recycled plastic waste as a valuable resource in the manufacturing process, Rethink is creating quality clothes from what most consider trash. We sell to a variety of customers, including  wholesale, and retail. Our garments are offered branded and co-branded. Our goal is to promote recycling in the mainstream by re-purposing plastic waste into a t-shirt.​

Rethink creates high quality basic apparel that is innovative and certifiable through a tracer in the US fiber and the environmental benefits of the garments are measurable through our Rethink Index.  Garment recyclable garments to end waste and complete cradle to cradle cycle.  RETHINK's core garments have been engineered for garment recycling; at the end of its life a RETHINK garment can be reclaimed and transformed into a new garment.
