Safety Vest Recycling

Has anyone found any options to recycle safety vests, or discovered an upcycling option for them?  We are about to replace all of our vests company-wide and will have thousands that we don't want in the waste stream and we don't want to be reused as safety vests.  Any thoughts or ideas would be great!

Thanks and I hope everyone is staying safe,

Kim Ilardi

I understand that you stated you do not want them reused, however Columbia Construction donates ours (and other materials) to a local charity that is building global health equity through construction projects (hospitals etc.) outside of the US.  perhaps worth looking into this or similar for your company policy of not reusing?  https://www.buildhealthinternational.org/about/
