COCO-MAT Cares

Did you know that the textile industry generates more than 92 million tons of fabric waste globally each year? And unless urgent action is taken, this figure is expected to grow dramatically by 2030. In the U.S. alone, the average person discards around 47 kilograms of textiles annually, including sheets, pillowcases and other household linens.

While it's difficult to estimate the exact number of discarded household textiles, there's no doubt that they significantly contribute to this environmental issue. But what if we could give them a second life?

That’s why COCO-MAT is launching a new global initiative that combines everyday habits with meaningful environmental impact:

Give your old sheets a second life!

This initiative will be rolled out across selected COCO-MAT stores, both in Greece and abroad,uniting our global community in one collective effort for sustainability.

How to participate:

Bring your old sheets to a participating store and place them in the designated collection basket located near the entrance of the COCO-MAT store (or another clearly marked area).

What happens to your sheets?

All collected items are repurposed in two impactful ways:

Some of the collected sheets are upcycled into new, useful products and then donated to Non-Profit Organizations (NGOs), in line with the principles of circular economy and zero waste.

Some others– thoroughly cleaned and carefully selected – are donated directly to non-profit organizations (NGOs), extending their life by meeting real needs. As part of this initiative, we are offering not only the collected sheets from participating customers, but also products from COCO-MAT collections. In this way, we combine environmental responsibility with social contribution, turning a recycling initiative into an act of solidarity and doubling the impact of your donation.

With simple, conscious decisions, we can all contribute to a more circular economy, giving new value to textiles that might otherwise end up in landfills.
