Planet Aid: Pioneering textile reuse to empower communities

Planet Aid diverts used textiles from U.S. landfills to fund locally-led community development.

Planet Aid pioneered textile reuse in the U.S. in 1997 to raise funds for community-led programs that promote education, health, and environmental and agricultural sustainability.

As a nonprofit organization, we support a second hand circular economy to reduce landfill waste and provide livelihoods for millions in the second hand clothing industry.

Over 25 years, we have diverted nearly 2 billion pounds of textiles from U.S. landfills and raised ~$100 million for community-led development.
