# Much better than new | Patagonia repairs snow wear! "Worn Wear Snow Tour" Starts March 4th

Efforts to protect the global environment "Worn Wear"

Patagonia has been the first company to call for environmental protection and has actually taken action. The company has been one of the first to recycle PET bottles, and its mission is to "minimize the environmental impact of its corporate activities" and "responsible consumption." As one of our efforts to protect the environment, we have been implementing a program called "Worn Wear" since 2013.

Worn Wear celebrates stories about what you wear and encourages users to stick with their gear for the long haul. and a program that provides an easy way to recycle products that have become unrepairable. By using recycled materials and repairing what you need and using it for a long time, you stop buying things you don't need. As a result, less waste is produced. It is an effort to reduce the environmental impact.

* “Stories about wearing” ―one the stories

The patagonia store also has a photo-like exhibition, sending a message about the repair and care of wear by "Worn Wear".
