FAQs

Learn more about our Take-Back Program and how you can recycle your denim.

What denim is accepted?

We accept all types of denim, including jeans, jackets, and shorts, regardless of the condition. Please wash before sending to us :)

What happens to the donated denim?

Once we receive your denim, we carefully sort and process it to create new materials for our circular projects.

Can I donate multiple items?

Yes, you can donate as many denim items as you'd like. Every contribution helps us make a positive impact on the environment.

Why should I send my denim to Proper?

If your denim is in good shape or can be mended for re-wear, we do advocate for you to donate to local charities or thrift shops where you know the item can be given a second life. However, what many people don't know is that, more often than not, clothing sent to donation centers or recycling bins often ends up in landfills because of the volume of clothing those businesses receive.

Is the program free?

Yes, our Take-Back Program is completely free. We cover the shipping costs for you to send us your denim.
