Briefly

Figs, a company known for its scrubs, is launching 'Scrubs That Don't Suck,' a recycling initiative aimed at giving healthcare professionals a way to dispose of worn or uncomfortable scrubs. In partnership with SuperCircle, the program accepts old scrubs from any brand and provides prepaid shipping labels or drop-off locations in Los Angeles and Philadelphia. Participants can earn a $50 credit for recycling their scrubs through April, after which they will receive a $25 credit. The collected scrubs are either fiber-to-fiber recycled or open-loop recycled, contributing to sustainable textile management.
Figs' new recycling initiative, 'Scrubs That Don't Suck,' allows healthcare workers to recycle their old scrubs, turning them into new fabrics or other useful products.
The program, launched in partnership with SuperCircle, aims to collect old scrubs from any brand and offers significant incentives for participation.
Healthcare professionals often struggle with worn-out or uncomfortable scrubs; this initiative provides an eco-friendly solution for disposing of these textiles.
