Waste Reduction
Maggie Sottero is recycling everything possible, as efficiently as we can, from bulk shipping waste to diverting stock from landfills.
3000 lbs and counting of plastic shipping waste recycled through our partnership with Rocky Mountain Recycling.
100% of excess stock is diverted from landfills and into textile recycling programs and donation efforts.
1200+ gowns and accessories donated to community organizations and design school students in the U.S. and the U.K. including:
Donated 500+ discontinued gowns and accessories to Brides Across America, a community organization providing free dresses to qualified military, first responder and healthcare workers.
Supporting textile waste reduction efforts, we’ve provided gowns and materials to fashion students at Otis College of Art & Design, Liverpool School of Art and Design, Rare School of Fashion, Salt Lake Community College, Brigham Young University and RMIT for study and upcycling projects.
Eliminated single-use plastics in our offices and at market events, replacing with reusable dishware and utensils.
Recycling as much as we can, as efficiently as we can at our Scope 1 facilities in an effort to further reduce our municipal waste landfill impact.
Dedicated to electronic waste reduction, Maggie has a long-standing practice of recycling used printer toners and donation of decommissioned equipment to e-waste programs.
