Scrap Cycle®

Scrap Cycle is the nation’s largest quilt and sewing scraps recycling program. We believe in the power of doing what you love while making a positive impact on the environment.

Our patented textile recycling process is designed to reduce waste and minimize the impact on the environment while reducing the use of valuable resources.

Scrap Cycle, evolved → Clothes Cycle

Originally created for our quilting community, Scrap Cycle has now been fully integrated into Clothes Cycle—our unified take-back program. We’re keeping this space as a tribute to the makers who brought it to life. To participate today, simply purchase a Clothes Cycle bag and send your materials back to us.

Scraps. Recycled.
