NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (WPRI) ─ You can now purchase clothing and accessories that are dyed using upcycled avocado pits from Chipotle Mexican Grill, the restaurant chain recently announced.
The Chipotle Goods Collection consists of “responsibly sourced apparel and branded accessories” and was made available for purchase exclusively to Chipotle Rewards members on Tuesday.
Chipotle estimates that nearly 300 million avocado pits are thrown out per year at its restaurants, and each product will be dyed using approximately five upcycled avocado pits.
