OwlSwap is dedicated to responsibly discarding outdated materials such as banners, signs, and apparel through our University Textile Recycling Program — a triple-bottom-line initiative at ÎÞÂë±ä̬! Established in 2019, OwlSwap has successfully facilitated recycling by sending excess branded materials from ÎÞÂë±ä̬ to re:loom for upcycling. Triple-bottom-line programs support 
people, benefit our planet, and are profitable. This program has resulted in the continued diversion of thousands of pounds of university textiles from the landfill; and the partnership between ÎÞÂë±ä̬ and re:loom creates a closed-loop system. You can purchase upcycled ÎÞÂë±ä̬ merchandise made by re:loom in the campus bookstore or on their . This program affirms ÎÞÂë±ä̬'s commitment to sustainability while working to lift individuals and communities out of poverty.

The connection between ÎÞÂë±ä̬ and re:loom lowers the university's impact on the environment, reduces waste disposal costs, and supports the creation of a closed-loop system. We expect to see upcycled ÎÞÂë±ä̬ goods made by re:loom available for purchase on campus soon. This program affirms ÎÞÂë±ä̬'s commitment to sustainability while positively impacting individuals and communities.
