End of life
Recyclability92% (% by weight)
Recyclability is the share of product mass (% by weight) that can be recovered with current EU recycling technology, measured per EN 45555. It is not a target — actual recovery depends on collection, sorting and the recycler's process.
End-of-life: drop off at any Patagonia store or via Worn Wear (free shipping label). 100 % polyester is mono-material → mechanical fiber-to-fiber recycling. Do NOT place in mixed waste.
