STAY VOCAL Reuse logo

* REUSE *

T-Shirts. Cardboard Boxes. Paper. These are just some of the items that are thrown away or recycled every day, before ever seeing their full potential. Our ReUse clothing is made with worn garments that we washed and treated and later re-printed. Our ReUse pins are printed on paper taken from recycle bins. By reusing items, you can help prevent unnecessary waste, while saving time, money, and energy.

Every year, there is an astronomical amount of waste in the world, so why not re-use some of this before just throwing it away or putting it in the recycle bin?
