The idea was to start a textile recovery company that reduced local landfill waste, created good paying jobs and that would do something good for those in need. With only a few clothing recovery bins and a rented storage unit, the Whitten family started collecting clothing, shoes and textiles of all kinds. It wasn't long before small rented space began to overflow. Though they were growing fast, the aim remained the same: keep clothes, shoes, accessories and textiles out of landfills, mobilize resources to end local poverty, create jobs and be a for-profit company that truly makes a difference in their community. Apparel Impact is focused on changing the way people think about clothing.

Apparel Impact started in 2014 as a New England textile recycler and community support company. Within 5 years, Apparel Impact became the fastest growing textile recycler in the northeastern U.S.; growing from a small regional provider to a multi-state business with over 1,400 partners and customers ranging from small businesses, non-profit organizations, government partners to Fortune 500 companies.

Apparel Impact is a Family and Veteran Owned operated business that focuses on the recovery of textiles and the support of communities throughout the country and is a highly regarded, family owned, veteran owned recycling company that truly understands the value of giving back and supporting their communities while having a primary mission to reduce waste and improve the environment.
