Recycling Program – Silver Affect

SILVER AFFECT 'Used Return' Recycling Program

Let's be real, fashion and style are simply fascinating. It's not just about keeping up with the latest trends - it's about exploring the limitless possibilities of a fresh wardrobe, where we can freely express ourselves and unleash our creativity by indulging in a glorious feast of colors, patterns, and materials. It's like stepping into our own personalized work of art! However, there is a big downside to fast fashion that we can no longer ignore.

Have you ever wondered about the fate of these garments once it served its purpose? Do they end up in a landfill, or is there a better way to dispose of them? And what happens to the countless items of clothing that never even make it off the rack?

As individuals who have spent a considerable amount of time in the fashion industry, we’ve gained a deeper understanding that there is a huge percentage of waste that the fashion industry contributes to. In fact, the global fashion industry produces 2.1 billion tons of carbon emissions each year, which is more than the aviation and shipping industries combined. It is also reported that the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global wastewater and generates 92 million tons of waste annually.

Although these startling figures were reported in 2017 by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the sad truth is that these numbers have since continued to rise. It's safe to say that many manufacturers and consumers are now aware of the horrible effects of fast fashion, and have since been motivated within the industry to take action toward more sustainable and responsible practices. However, we need to continue this movement in order to bring about real change for our planet and all inhabitants.

In fact, it is reported that if we recycled textiles at scale, then we could possibly save up to 20,000 liters of water per tonne of cotton waste compared to traditional methods of textile production. These figures demonstrate the significant impact that recycling textiles can have on reducing carbon footprint and promoting sustainability.

That's why we're excited and proud to introduce our SILVER AFFECT ‘USED RETURN’ RECYCLING PROGRAM, which is designed to incentivize our customers to recycle their used gear in exchange for a substantial discount on future purchases.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

After you purchase your gear, it'll shield you from EMF radiation for up to 150 machine washes and/or up to 300 proper hand washes in cold water. Although the garments are made with Pure Silver Metal, it is a natural organic conductive material, which gradually diminishes over time. Don't worry because this is a completely normal process when you deal with all products made with real EMF shielding material. Additionally, the fabric is made of antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, meaning, you don't have to wash it after every use! Click HERE to learn more...

Next, once you're done with your gear, then you can reach out to us at Customerservice@silveraffect.com with your Order Number and request your free shipping label. Once you receive your shipping label, then mail us your used garments and you'll receive a 30% off DISCOUNT replacement item code in your email which you can then use for your next purchase. It's that easy!

We believe that small actions can lead to big changes, and we're proud to offer this program as a way to make a positive impact on the environment. By returning your used Silver Affect gear, you'll not only be reducing waste and contributing to a more sustainable future, but you'll also be joining us in our mission to promote eco-friendly practices in the fashion industry.
