American Apparel is not only committed to selling quality apparel, but they want to create a better, more sustainable community. The stores are lined with made-in-America clothing that everyone needs in their closets. While the company has had its ups and downs with management, their commitment to creating sustainable goods has always been present and firm. The company reduces their eco footprint by concentrating on manufacturing operations to a small circle of buildings in Southern California. A few ways that the company works sustainability into the brand include minimizing the gaps between pattern pieces when cutting garments. This allows them to drastically reduce the amount of waste generated. Additionally, the company is constantly re-using what most companies consider waste, and turns them into everything from scrunchies and hair bows to other accessories. When they can't turn it into products, they cut it into rags and the housekeeping team makes use of them. Additionally, they have implemented a great bike program to provide a sustainable way of commuting for employees.
