Halloween is coming, and at Jackalo we are all about this fun spooky season. But did you know that Americans throw away an estimated 7 million Halloween costumes each year?

If you’ve looked at the fabric content of any costume, you know that they are most likely made from polyester, which will take 200 years to decompose (and most likely can’t be recycled.) 

Never fear! Jackalo is here to help you make Halloween more sustainable! Thrift stores and costume swaps are great places to get costumes. You can also make Halloween less wasteful by basing the costumes on clothes your kids may already have, and definitely would wear throughout the year. Not only will you reduce waste and save money, but you'll also ensure your little ones stay comfortable while trick-or-treating. In this guide, we'll show you how to transform Jackalo's durable, eco-friendly garments into creative and spooky costumes that can be worn long after October 31st. Get ready to make this Halloween both fun and sustainable!
