Intermix for Good Tour, a Denim Recycling Effort With Cotton Inc., Launches Thursday
On Thursday, Intermix will launch its Intermix for Good Tour, a nationwide sustainability effort to reduce waste through denim recycling and bring communities together through giving back.
With the goal of creating a more sustainable future, Intermix will collaborate with Cotton Inc.’s Blue Jeans Go Green program to collect denim made with cotton, which can be recycled to create something new. Customers can receive 20 percent off a new denim purchase by bringing an old pair of jeans into an Intermix boutique and they will be recycled through Cotton’s Blue Jeans Go Green program.
