TRENTON, N.J., Jan. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LILYSILK, the world's leading silk brand with a mission to inspire people to live better, sustainable lives, is assisting consumers who want to part with their well-loved LILYSILK textiles in a planet positive way. In partnership with international recycling leader TerraCycleÒ, the LILYSILK Recycling Program offers a free and convenient way to recycle non-donatable LILYSILK products including bedding, apparel, and sleepwear.

"At LILYSILK, we believe that zero waste can make a huge difference, so we are leading by example in the hope of encouraging our customers to join us," said David Wang, LILYSILK CEO. "Participating in the recycling program is a natural and meaningful way for people to say goodbye to their LILYSILK products when the time comes. As part of our commitment to make the world greener, we are delighted to partner up with TerraCycle to be more proactive regarding environmental sustainability."

Through the LILYSILK Recycling Program, consumers can send in all non-donatable LILYSILK textiles including bedding, apparel, and sleepwear made from silk and cashmere to be recycled for free. Participation is easy: sign up on the TerraCycle program page (www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades/lilysilk), wash and package all textiles in an available box, and mail the box in using a prepaid shipping label. Once collected, the LILYSILK textiles are turned into a shredded fiber and used as a filler for cushions, pillows, and linings. Additionally, for every shipment sent to TerraCycle through the recycling program, collectors earn points that can be donated to a non-profit, school or charitable organization of their choice.

"Partnering with environmentally-conscious businesses like LILYSILK aligns well with TerraCycle's mission to 'Eliminate the Idea of Waste' and, in turn, care for the planet," said Tom Szaky, TerraCycle Founder and CEO. "Through their recycling program, LILYSILK is providing consumers with a sustainable option to part with their LILYSILK textiles that can no longer be passed on or donated when they reach the end of their useful life."

The LILYSILK Recycling Program is open to any interested individual, school, office, or community organization. For more information on TerraCycle's recycling programs, visit www.terracycle.com.
