WestPoint Home Celebrates Earth Day 2025

Earth Day will be celebrated internationally on April 22. Earth Day is intended to encourage environmental awareness and ACTION to protect the environment. Awareness includes knowing your daily waste footprint (the average American produces almost 6 pounds of household trash per day!!!!), knowing how many harsh chemicals are involved in your daily living activities (from cleaning products to makeup contents), and the amount of daily car travel (the average US driver travels over 30 miles per day).

WestPoint Home encourages everyone, including our employees, to be an ambassador of Mother Earth whether at work or at home. This includes purchasing earth friendly products, planting trees and plants that support healthy natural environments, limiting use of herbicides and pesticides, minimizing consumerism, and recycling, reuse, and composting.

To celebrate Earth Day, WestPoint Home is currently completing a shoe drive to divert shoes from landfills and support economies in disenfranchised areas of the globe. We also continue to improve upon our 84% recycling rate across our company’s worldwide footprint by advancing our fiber recycling efforts at our Bahrain factory. More to come on that effort soon!

Wherever you live, please consider doing your part to protect our natural environment. If you need other ideas to celebrate earth day, please visit woyago.com/earth-day-activities.

1. As determined by internal WPH recycling rate calculations for both WPH manufacturing plants and published in the annual Corporate Responsibility Report.
