Why Become an Ambassador?

Becoming a Bra Recycling Ambassador gives your business or organization a meaningful way to connect sustainability, customer engagement, and community impact without having to build a program from scratch.

Increase customer engagement.
Bra recycling gives your customers, clients, members, or community a simple reason to connect with your business beyond a transaction.

Offer a simple take-back opportunity.
Whether customers bring accepted items to your location or mail them in through your recycling reward program, you can give them an easy way to participate in responsible recycling.

Make it easy to be green and give back.
We provide guidance, resources, and tools to help make the process easier. You do not have to figure it all out on your own.

Join a community of like-minded changemakers.
As an Ambassador, you become part of a growing network of businesses, organizations, and community partners who care about our planet and the people who live on it.

Support communities and deserving families.
Through our nonprofit, The Undie Chest, we help support individuals and families experiencing hardship by connecting essential undergarments with community partners who serve them.

Build giving back into your daily operations.
Instead of adding a complicated program, you can make recycling and community impact part of what you already do through collections, drop-offs, customer education, rewards, or online outreach.
