PARIS, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Reju^™, the purpose-driven, leading textile-to-textile regeneration company, is using augmented reality (AR) to give Climate Week NYC 2025 attendees and the city itself a dramatic look at the textile industry’s global waste problem. Launching on 22nd September, Reju’s AR experience overlays mountains of textile waste against two iconic New York City landmarks; the Empire State Building and Flatiron providing a powerful, shareable visualization of the sustainability crisis and the company’s role in solving it.

According to Textile Exchange, more than 92 million tons of textile waste are generated globally each year, most of it ending up in landfills or incinerated. Reju’s regeneration technology which originated with IBM research, is designed to change that by recovering, regenerating and recirculating end-of-life textiles into high-quality materials, closing the loop on textile waste.

Throughout Climate Week, New Yorkers will encounter QR code signage at high-traffic locations and near key Climate Week venues. Scanning the code leads users to an interactive microsite, where they can point their phone’s camera at the two landmark buildings to activate Reju’s AR filter.

As users swipe through the AR settings, they will see the amount of global textile waste generated in a second, minute, hour and day scaled to the size of the landmark in front of them. The experience delivers a visceral sense of the industry’s impact and highlights why innovation in sustainable materials is critical.

“Reju’s AR experience brings the invisible textile waste problem into sharp focus, right in the middle of New York City during a week when climate is top of mind,” said Patrik Frisk, CEO, Reju. “It’s a wake-up call, but also a glimpse of hope. This is the very waste Reju is designed to transform, turning discarded textiles into high-quality materials and closing the loop in fashion and beyond.”

Designed to meet audiences where they are, the AR activation enables New Yorkers and visitors to scan QR codes found on social media and near the landmarks and immerse themselves in the AR experience, record videos, and share their content on social media.

This campaign includes influencer partners who will share videos of the AR filter in action, inspiring followers to find the landmarks, try the filter themselves, and post their own content—amplifying the conversation and deepening engagement.

To participate in the experience, Climate Week attendees and the public can follow @Reju on social platforms and https://ar.reju.com/ to view the experience.

After using the AR filter, consumers are encouraged to share their footage with the hashtag #RejuClimateWeek, learn more about textile regeneration, and sign up to join Reju’s movement toward a circular textile economy.

The beloved beanie brand returns during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month with its mission to help kids battling cancer

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — From a college project to a nationwide movement that’s supported over 270,000 children battling cancer, Love Your Melon’s story has come full circle. One of the original founders, Zachary Quinn, has reacquired the brand from Win Brands Group and is relaunching this fall as LYM. New and classic products will return with the beloved Buy One, Give One program, recharging the mission to bring comfort and hope to kids battling cancer and other life-threatening conditions.

“This is personal. It always has been,” said Zachary Quinn, Founder and CEO of LYM. “We started this company in our college apartment with a simple idea to give a hat to every child battling cancer. That mission still drives everything we do. Now, with my family by my side, we’re bringing LYM back to its roots and building toward something even bigger. This isn’t just a comeback, it’s a calling, and we’re just getting started.”

LYM: The New Chapter in a Movement That Gives Back

LYM is more than a name change—it’s a bold evolution of the brand’s identity. While still rooted in the original mission of comfort, community, and care, LYM is built for today’s conscious consumers who want to look good while doing good. With elevated design and a deeper emotional purpose, LYM is creating a community where everyone makes a difference.

This September, coinciding with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, LYM reintroduces its signature “Buy One, Give One” program. With each beanie purchased, another is donated to a child battling cancer or to the family members and caregivers who share in that fight. Marked with the new blue tag, every beanie carries a message of hope and solidarity.

New Look. Same Heart. Bigger Impact.

Since 2012, LYM has donated more than $10 million to pediatric cancer programs that directly support families, including Pinky Swear Foundation and M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital. That need has only grown: one in five families struggles with food, transportation, housing, or utility insecurity after a childhood cancer diagnosis. After six months of chemotherapy, one-third of families struggle to pay even one of those bills.

“Support from donors and partners like LYM makes our mission possible, to help families with household essentials like housing, food, and transportation while their child is in treatment,” said MaryBeth Meyer, Director of Marketing at Pinky Swear Foundation. “LYM’s renewed commitment means more families can focus on what matters most – caring for their child. We are proud to be part of this next chapter.”

Fifteen percent from every accessory, add-on, and warehouse sale item purchased helps fund family services, emotional support programs, and vital resources such as the Love Your Melon Family Resource Center located in the lobby of M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital. This warm, welcoming space includes a family lounge, a library with books and games for kids, and an event space.

“From the very first hat drop to thousands of hats later, LYM has been woven into the fabric of M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital’s story,” said Aimee Nelson, Director of Children’s Services M Health Fairview Pediatrics. “Their unwavering generosity and joyful presence have impacted the lives of countless patients and families, creating moments of comfort and hope that last far beyond a hospital stay.”

The LYM is Back Collection

New LYM products drop Monday, Sept. 22 at 10 a.m. CT at LYM.com. The relaunch includes two core collections:

• Essentials Collection ($30): Featuring the all-new LYM logo on a signature blue tag, this line is warm and comfortable beanies in a variety of colors that can be worn cuffed and slouchy-beanie style.
• Classic Collections ($30 or $35 with pom): The favorite classic styles featuring the original Love Your Melon leather patch in an expansive color collection and styles from cuffed to slouchy beanies and pom beanies.

Customers can also shop accessories and add-ons, including poms for beanies, children’s books, friendship bracelets, wash bags, patches and sticker packs.

A special warehouse sale will take place in Minneapolis, offering exclusive styles and limited-time merchandise through the holiday season. Details will be announced through official LYM channels.

Wear Your Impact

For kids undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, beanies do more than keep them warm—they restore a sense of normalcy and belonging. Each beanie given is a tangible sign that a community is standing behind them and they’re not alone.

LYM is set to make its biggest impact yet with the brand relaunch. Every beanie sold means another is donated to a child battling cancer. Colors will sell out quickly, with restocks and new styles being added frequently online and through the Minneapolis-based retail store.

New LYM products will be finished in the USA with operations in Portland, Ore., and Minneapolis, Minn. supporting jobs and local economies in both cities.

Media assets can be found here.
