LILYSILK and TerraCycle Celebrate Four Years of Sustainable Recycling Efforts

Celebrating Four Years of Sustainable Impact with LILYSILK and TerraCycle

LILYSILK, a prominent name in the world of silk and sustainability, proudly marks the fourth anniversary of its innovative recycling program in collaboration with TerraCycle. Launched in January 2022, this initiative has been instrumental in transforming textile waste into sustainable materials, significantly contributing to the circular economy. This milestone not only highlights the successful recycling efforts but also reinforces the commitment to a more sustainable future.

The partnership between LILYSILK and TerraCycle stands testament to the power of collaboration in addressing environmental challenges. Since its inception, the program has successfully facilitated the recycling of 2,849 non-donatable silk and cashmere items, which collectively weighed almost 1,680 pounds (approximately 762 kilograms). These materials have been repurposed into a variety of valuable products, including insulation and cushion fillings, thus reducing textile waste and promoting a healthier planet.

Easy and Accessible Recycling Process

One of the key features of the program is its user-friendly approach. Customers across the United States can conveniently participate by sending their used textiles via a prepaid shipping label, which can be downloaded from the LILYSILK website. This seamless process makes it easier for users to engage in sustainable practices without hassle. Upon receiving the textiles, LILYSILK and TerraCycle transform them into raw formats, which can be utilized in the creation of new products.

In appreciation of their commitment, participants are rewarded with LILYSILK points and TerraCycle Recycling Rewards. These can be redeemed for charitable donations or used in future purchases, fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility towards sustainability.

Paving the Way for Future Initiatives

Reflecting on the achievements of the recycling program as of November 2025, a total of 425 LILYSILK products have been recycled this year alone. The positive feedback from participants highlights the environmental awareness fostered by the program and its impact on consumer habits. Many customers express how the initiative supports their personal eco-conscious goals, allowing them to contribute to the circular economy actively. The program not only promotes responsible consumption but also cultivates strong brand loyalty and encourages mindful purchasing behaviors.

To further enhance the experience and gather insightful feedback, LILYSILK has initiated a one-month survey among U.S. participants. This survey aims to explore participants' motivations, experiences, and any suggestions for improvement, thereby furthering the accessibility and efficiency of the recycling program.

Special Promotions for Participants

As a token of appreciation and to incentivize more recycling efforts, from January 1 to March 31, 2026, participants who recycle LILYSILK products are eligible to receive a complimentary silk pillowcase with their next purchase, along with earning 500 LILYSILK points and a 20% discount. This initiative not only rewards participants but also encourages continued participation in sustainable practices.

David Wang, CEO of LILYSILK, articulated the importance of this milestone, stating, "As we mark this four-year milestone, our commitment to the planet grows stronger with every item given a second life. Our partnership with TerraCycle reflects a shared belief that true luxury lies not only in exceptional quality, but in responsible stewardship. Together with our community, we are weaving a future where beauty and sustainability are inextricably linked."
