Baystate Textiles focus on the importance of RECYCLING TEXTILES. Why? Because every year, the average person disposes of 81 lbs of textiles. Only 15% is being reclaimed or recycled, while the other 85% spends around 40 years decomposing in the landfills. That is 26 billion pounds of textiles releasing harmful CO2 and methane into our atmosphere.

Thank you for supporting this Textile Collection.
