“At Tillys, sustainability has become an equally important initiative for us, and for our customers. We are constantly looking to reduce our impact on the environment specifically in the reduction of waste, pollution, and carbon output. Innovation is at the forefront of our #1 Brand, RSQ, and we are excited to partner with Recover on a recycled cotton textiles collection that eliminates the need for further cotton cultivation. This is in full alignment with our long-term sustainability strategy to incorporate more recycled cotton into our products, much like those used in the Recover™? x RSQ capsule.”- Ed Thomas, President & CEO, TILLYS





Recover™ uses textile waste that would otherwise end up in landfill to create high-quality recycled cotton fiber that significantly reduces the carbon and water footprint of the apparel produced with it. Tillys’ partnership with Recover™, and the use of their fiber in the RSQ collection, underscores Tillys’ commitment to collaborating on sustainability solutions and bringing a carefully selected range of products that have a reduced impact on the environment to the consumer.
