Thread transforms trash in the poorest communities into fabric, then sells it to apparel/accessories brands looking to improve their level of social/environmental impact. The process is transparent, authenticated from 'Ground to Good', & benefits brands who have lost money, customers, & reputation due to irresponsible sourcing. Thread is bringing in revenue, has moved 90MM bottles from the streets of Haiti & Honduras, & is supporting ~3000 jobs.
