Hello, I’m looking for someone who would be interested in purchasing used blue jeans per pound, I’m talking pennies per pound. I work in a thrift store and some jeans are just to dirty or unwearable and we can’t sell them. Does any one know of a canadian recycler who makes blue jean insulation. I to would like to see more uses for unwearable textiles.

I have not yet seen any information about recycling denim that is the least bit useful to me. I can make a purse — I know how. I can make cutoffs — I know how. I can turn them into paper — I know how. I need to know who, what, when, where. I have denim to get rid of, and I want it out of my house. I don’t need to know about denim recycling projects that are thousands of miles from where I live. I need to know if, for example, when I donate my torn, stained, unwearable denim to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, can those organizations send unsold items to someone who can turn them into insulation, or do they just get bundled and sent overseas to clothe someone in rags?
