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.
