A Green Solution
Lexington X TEXAID
Besides helping you score beautiful bedding you’ll pass on to the next generation, our in-store recycling initiative is designed to encourage circular and sustainable shopping practices. So, to turn up our own sustainable initiative we coupled up with TEXAID to give your old bedding new life. “How does that work?” you ask. Learn more about our partnership below.
Reusables
From the collection, about 65% of unwanted home textiles and clothes deemed good enough to be sold at second-hand stores where they get to spark joy in a new owner’s life.
Recyclables
The remaining 35% of the textiles are reexamined so they can be recycled. About 15% of them are badly damaged cotton or cotton-mix fabrics that can be cut into cleaning cloths.
About 15% of the reexamined textiles, usually wool, are recycled to produce new textiles for home and fashion or shredded to be used as raw insulating materials.
Thermal Recovery
Only 5% of the collected items are considered textile waste which is appropriately sorted and supplied for thermal recovery.
