'We change lives with pre-loved bras' - Elaine Birks-Mitchell, Founder and CEO, The Bra Recyclers
Did you know that on average, a woman owns six bras, but only wears two and worn bras only last 6-9 months!?
The average American throws away 81 pounds of clothing a year and 95% of these textiles can be recycled, but only 15% gets donated or recycled. That is just astonishing!
If you are like me, you may not have even realised that bras can be donated. In the US, this can easily be done with The Bra Recyclers who since 2008 have donated over 4 million bras to over 120 nonprofits across the globe that support women and girls in need, such as those escaping domestic violence and human trafficking.
I invite you to have a listen to my conversation with Elaine to learn about how you can recycle your own bras- even if you are living outside of the US.
