Trade-in expansion allows customers to mail-in worn Carhartt workwear remotely, giving more gear a second chance

DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Born from Carhartt’s legacy of building durable gear that lasts lifetimes, America’s premium workwear brand Carhartt, in partnership with Trove, the market leader in branded resale, announced today it will expand its resale program, Carhartt Reworked, to accept mail-in trade-in effective immediately.

“This expansion represents another milestone in the evolution of Carhartt Reworked, giving hardworking Carhartt wearers across the country the opportunity to participate,” said Gretchen R. Valade, Director of Sustainability at Carhartt. “With the help of Trove, this new digital trade-in method underscores our commitment to environmental impact and getting gently used gear that isn’t done working into the hands of those who need it.”

Beginning Feb. 27, the Carhartt Reworked program will accept mail-in trade-in of select Carhartt products that meet the eligibility and condition requirements. Consumers who opt to mail-in their gently worn Carhartt gear will complete an online module on the Carhartt Reworked website where they’ll identify the product style and condition. Upon completion, the customer will box and ship their gear directly to Trove. Once received and confirmed, the customer will receive a digital gift card which can be used on Reworked.Carhartt.com, Carhartt.com or at any Carhartt company store.

Aimed at building a better world by creating a circular recommerce model that extends the life of its durable gear and reduces clothing waste, Carhartt has extended the life of over 43,000 garments and kept more than 68,000 products out of landfills since the initial resale launch powered by Trove less than 12 months ago. The evolution of Carhartt Reworked demonstrates Carhartt’s commitment to providing an enhanced resale experience from the growing demand from its customers. Since the initial launch in March 2023, the Carhartt Reworked program, which is the first branded resale site in the workwear industry, has engaged with over 22,500 hardworking people spanning all 50 states across the U.S.

“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Carhartt Reworked by introducing the Mail-in Trade-In program,” said Gayle Tait, CEO of Trove. “This expansion will reward Carhartt customers for their loyalty while reinforcing the brand’s dedication to sustainability. Trove’s modular resale technology will enable Carhartt Reworked’s growth and evolution in branded resale.”

Here’s how Carhartt Reworked trade-ins works:

Trade-In Requirements: The Reworked program will accept trade-in of select Carhartt products including any item that has been produced by Carhartt in the past 10 years, and had an original MSRP of $50 or more. The product categories include: outerwear, shirt jacs, bib overalls and coveralls, hoodies, sweatshirts, pants and jeans.How To Trade-In: Customers now have two ways to trade-in: Bring gently used garments to Carhartt owned stores (excluding Orlando, Fla. Factory Store) or send in via mail.Shop Trade-In: Customers interested in purchasing reworked Carhartt garments can visit Reworked.Carhartt.com, and shop a wide variety of men’s and women’s styles.

With Trove’s industry-leading expertise and ability to process millions of items efficiently via its Recommerce Operating System, Carhartt Reworked does just what the name suggests: reworks previously worn or slightly imperfect gear that isn’t done working and gets it into the hands of people who can put it to good use.

Carhartt views sustainable business practices as not just merely corporate responsibility, but rather fundamental to its values. With a focus on protecting the planet and leaving a better world for future generations of all hardworking people, Carhartt is helping reduce environmental impact in other ways outside of Reworked, including initiatives such as reduction in paper and plastic packaging and its Carhartt Repair program.

New Generation Centralized Control System Promotes “Integrated Operation Monitoring”

Published

48 minutes ago

December 26, 2024

BORTALA, China, Dec. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On December 26, personnel at the monitoring operation and maintenance center of the State Grid Bortala Power Supply Company were conducting acceptance testing for the new generation centralized control system. The company is actively promoting the application of this new system to facilitate “integrated operation monitoring” and enhance the risk management capabilities and equipment refinement levels of the power grid.

The new generation centralized control system serves as a technical support system for monitoring the operational status and fault defects of grid equipment. It acts as the “eyes” and “hands” for managing the operation of power grid equipment. Compared with the old Open3000 system, it optimizes the human-machine interface, refines system functions, and achieves comprehensive awareness of equipment status, defect detection, and proactive early warning, thereby providing efficient information processing capabilities to ensure that monitoring personnel can supervise equipment operation in real time.

During the system construction process, the company actively adapts to changes in production models, scientifically formulates project timelines, and deepens new operation and maintenance management models, such as “unattended + centralized monitoring” and “equipment owner + general practitioner.” This enhances the construction of the new centralized monitoring system and the integration of substation sites, providing comprehensive and robust monitoring support for the reliable operation of the Bortala power grid.

Up to now, the company has completed the construction of the main station of the new generation centralized control system, software and hardware debugging, graphic drawing and other tasks, as well as the station-end access of the new generation centralized control system for 54 substations, the entry of monitoring information into the database, and the forwarding of the front-end data of the new generation centralized control system within the centralized control range. The company carries out the orderly supplementation of monitoring information points for access devices and the verification of remote control information at substations.

In the next step, the company will actively explore digital transformation, strengthen modern team construction, and innovate practices in intelligent monitoring and business collaboration, all aimed at advancing the construction of modern centralized control stations to ensure the safe and stable operation of equipment.
