As theres no place collecting CG coats for recycling and no CG collection bins at Safeway.... good luck with a recycling program. Then on top of that many CG strips are sewn on the hoods.
Then couple that with the fact that 70-80% used strip will have been exposed to Covid-19 and slobber, sneezing and other yuck.
Hopefully this is just a ploy to satisfy the fantasy-fairy mindset of a percentage of western world consumer demands perceived and concerned demented/fairy minded shareholders, and reality will set in.
The big question is: is a CG parka recycling program even practical? Doubtful is my answer. Try to collect the parkas, a challenge, then recover the fur, then how do you revitalize a hammered strip??? Cheaper to use new.
It is concerning tho. Surely a very unwise board decision. Boards just dont work.

Generally speaking, I don’t believe that consumers purchasing $1000 parkas are looking for used material. I could be wrong.
The fact is, however, that coyote prices have been driven by a fashion trend. Trends change. Time will tell. Everyone would like it to be an endless trend. But...that’s why they call it a trend.
Who knows. Maybe we can look forward to the days of $100 beaver and $12 squirrels.
