With Father’s Day on the horizon, this Staples giveaway offers a unique and sustainable way to celebrate geeky dads. I’m pretty sure that just about everyone who is reading this has at least one box full of old, unusable cables; Staples has devised an innovative and fashionable solution with a focus on recycling them: the “Cable” Knit Sweater Vest.
Staples, known for its recycling programs, is encouraging dads to “cut the cord” with this distinctive garment. The sweater vest is literally crafted with old cords and cables woven into the fabric, allowing dads to show their unique fashion with a conversation-starting sweater.
From May 20 through June 10, customers who bring their old cables and other tech items to any Staples store for free recycling will have a chance to win the limited-edition “Cable” Knit Sweater Vest.
Additionally, everyone who recycles will receive an instant $10 off $30 coupon, and Staples Easy Rewards members will earn 1,000 points.
Here are the items that Staples will accept in-store for recycling:
And here are the items that can’t be recycled in-store at Staples.
The “Cable” Knit Sweater Vest is the ultimate dadcore statement piece, blending style, comfort, and sustainability. Inspired by the infamous “cable box” that many dads have, this Staples giveaway celebrates dad culture and #dadfashion while educating consumers about sustainable recycling methods.
The vest, designed by Art Style Innovation, features a chunky traditional cable-knit weave in charcoal gray. The internal cords, chosen in neutral colors, follow the weave pattern to maintain the vest’s fashion appeal and traditional look. Using real cords and cables gives it a unique texture and appearance.
To get a chance to win the “Cable” Knit Sweater Vest, you’ll need to recycle your old cables, cords, and other tech items at any Staples store by June 10.
After recycling, customers should keep their receipt, visit this link on Staples site, enter the code from their receipt, and complete a brief sweepstakes entry form. Winners will be notified via email by June 11 and will receive their vest by June 16, just in time for Father’s Day.
Would you wear it? I know that I would. 😉
