re-Markably re-Sponsible Program

What is the re-Markably re-Sponsible Program?

At Gear re-Store, we’re transforming the lifecycle of outdoor gear, tactical equipment, and textiles with the re-Markably re-Sponsible Program—a cutting-edge solution for post-retail management that reduces waste and champions sustainability across various industries

Why it Matters?

Textile Waste Crisis: Textiles contribute to 5.8% of the 292.4M tons of municipal waste annually in the U.S. (EPA).
Growing Problem: Textile waste increased by over 50% between 2000–2018 (GAO).
Landfill Overflow: Of 17M tons of textile waste, 66% is landfilled each year (The Roundup).
Outdoor Gear’s Impact: Synthetic outdoor garments take up to 200 years to decompose, harming ecosystems (The Roundup).

Industries we Serve

Outdoor Gear: Jackets, tents, backpacks, and more.
Military and Tactical Goods: Camouflage uniforms, sleeping systems, and rucksacks.
