The Timberloop™ take-back program launched with a customer incentive to recycle branded products.

Apparel brand Timberland is taking part in the circular economy.

Customers can return Timberland footwear, clothing, or accessories as a part of their new Timberloop™ take-back program. Collected products will be disassembled, reused, refurbished or recycled/upcycled into new products.

Program participants can either drop off worn goods at a local store or choose a prepaid ship-from-home option, and receive a 10% discount toward their next products.

Timberland also announced goals to incorporate 100% of its products in full circularity and sourcing 100% of its natural materials through regenerative agriculture by 2030.  One of its Spring 2022 products, the Timberloop™ Trekker will be designed for circularity by creating a shoe where outsoles can easily be removed at the ReCircled facility and each part put into its own unique recycling stream.
