Our Story
Runway Recycled was founded with a singular vision: to create a sustainable future while empowering communities through the power of fashion. What started as a small initiative to reduce textile waste has grown into a nonprofit dedicated to promoting upcycling, recycling, and community engagement.
We believe that fashion can be a force for good. By reimagining how we use and reuse materials, we aim to reduce the environmental impact of waste while providing opportunities for individuals to grow, learn, and give back.
Our journey is fueled by a commitment to sustainability and the belief that every item saved from a landfill can contribute to a brighter future. Join us in making a difference, one piece at a time.
