Giving New Life to Old Uniforms

Most of us don’t give much thought to our clothes beyond comfort and style, much less what to do with them when they get worn out. Just 13 percent of the world’s clothing gets recycled in some way. An unfitting stat when you think about how much we now try to keep things out of landfills. When FedEx acquired Rapidão Cometa and its 10,000 employees in 2012, team members in the São Paulo hub decided to make sure those uniforms retired in style rather that at the bottom of a trash pile.
