OUR IMPACT

EkoLinq has diverted over

778,550

pounds of textile waste away from landfill and contributed over

$45,250

to schools, non-profits, and climate initiatives throughout the Tri-Valley.

Since 2021, we’ve been making it easy to do the right thing with your unused textiles, and giving back to the community in the process. We’re striving for an entirely circular textile economy and taking all the steps we can to bring this reality to the Tri-Valley. We’d love for you to be a part of this mission.

THE PROBLEM

Every year, the U.S. produces over 100 pounds of textile waste per person.

When textiles decompose in landfills, they release methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide in warming the planet. Moreover, the textile industry is one of the largest water consumers globally, with a single cotton shirt requiring 2,700 liters of water to produce. The disposal of textile waste in landfills also leads to water pollution, as dangerous chemicals and dyes leach into the soil and groundwater, potentially harming aquatic ecosystems and human health.

By donating your unwanted textiles, you can help break this cycle of waste and environmental damage. Your used materials can be repurposed, recycled, or even transformed into new products, significantly reducing the industry's environmental footprint and moving us closer to a more sustainable future.
