Our supplier built the world\u2019s first open-access circular supply chain for clothing so anyone, anywhere, can use it to create and sell sustainable clothing designed to stay in loop and out of landfill. <\/p><p><\/p><p>We want to give everyone the power to play a part in the solution, which is why we asking our customers to help make fashion circular, by sending products back.<\/p><p><\/p><p>Our goal is to take <strong>100m items back around the loop by 2027<\/strong> with your help.

Take Back Friday reverses that.<\/p><p><\/p><p>Our suppliers co-founder Mart Drake-Knight put it like this:<\/p><p><\/p><blockquote><p><em>\u201cBlack Friday is a symptom of how waste has been woven into the way our world works. Products are designed to be thrown away, meaning the only way to create growth is to make and sell more products and create more waste. It fuels climate change and destroys nature.<br \/><br \/><\/em><\/p><p><em>We built our circular business model to solve that issue. Products are designed from the start to come back and be remade, so instead of creating waste, we create new products from it.\"<br \/><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><p>So this Black Friday, spread the word and be part of the solution by joining the #TakeBackFriday campaign.<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/bcbz1fz2fvqbj2rvw44okprewi7uvjlxqlbxgezyxsvul9cr.jpg\" alt=\"bcbz1fz2fvqbj2rvw44okprewi7uvjlxqlbxgezyxsvul9cr.jpg\" \/><\/p><h3><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/h3><p>Sending products back is easy.<\/p><p><\/p><p>All Happi Inc products are designed to be remade.
