What: Macy’s has announced new initiatives to drive circularity through its social purpose platform, ‘Mission Every One.’

Why it is important: The newest goals of Macy’s are set around recycling which they hope to achieve by using RFID technology.

The report outlines the circularity-based solutions and services that the department store has implemented in the past few years, including reducing waste and packaging. As well, they have standardized the sizing and materials of their packing cartons.

The group’s beauty product team is launching a pilot program to ship outdated items to a third-party recycler. Macy’s has also partnered with ‘Give Back Box’ to enable customers to resell or recycle their clothing.
