The World's First Hoodie That Grows in Value and Saves the Planet

George Brown College and SIXR are revolutionizing the sustainable apparel sector with an exciting new initiative! SIXR is the first global marketplace that makes eco-friendly shopping a rewarding experience. Buy sustainable, recycle with ease, and watch your rewards grow. A greener planet and a fuller wallet? Yes, please!

SIXR has collaborated with George Brown College and the Brookfield Sustainability Institute to launch the first product on the SIXR platform, the FOR TOMORROW hoodie.

How does it work?

Cash In Rewards that grow over time

Your Rewards Do More Than You Think. We invest the rewards in earth-saving initiatives like sustainable energy, reforestation, and ocean clean-ups. So while you're flaunting your new eco-chic outfit, your rewards are growing in value.

Finally A Hoodie That Stays Out of Landfills

Each year, millions of discarded clothing items end up in landfills. Not the "FOR TOMORROW Hoodie". It is made with fibers that can be easily recycled and transformed into new material stock. When it's time to part ways, simply use the SIXR app to send it back. We'll ensure it's recycled, championing a greener future in fashion.

The FOR TOMORROW Collection

Designed by the Brookfield Sustainability Institute and students at George Brown College, the FOR TOMORROW hoodie is a statement piece that promotes change in the apparel industry by exemplifying circular design and sustainability principles.

The creation of the hoodie began with an innovation workshop, where GBC fashion and design students collaborated with apparel industry stakeholders to establish 6 guiding principles for circular apparel design.

Minimize
Waste
Sustainable
Fibers
Physical & Emotional Durability
Design for Disassembly
Just In Time Production
Equitable
Labour

The 'FOR TOMORROW Hoodie' uses a zero-waste pattern and features a secure stash pocket. Composed of recyclable textiles and accompanied by an app that guides its lifecycle, the 'FOR TOMORROW Hoodie' will revolutionize responsible fashion.

Enjoy the soothing colours from the Earth Collection: Midnight, Moon, Sky and Sand. Inspired by colours found in nature, the Earth Collection colour palette is a reminder of our Earth and the commitment to sustainable fashion.
