Rebundle, in its verb form, means to sustainably dispose of plastic synthetic hair by mailing it to us for recycling. Since the early 1950s, plastic synthetic hair has been mass-produced for hairstyles worn mainly by Black women and has since accumulated millions of pounds of waste worldwide. This initiative was born out of a dire need to eliminate plastic synthetic hair waste and address this undetected environmental justice issue.
Don’t throw away your plastic synthetic hair.
We’ll collect it for recycling!
