The document outlines Patagonia's dilemma in balancing growth goals with environmental values. It proposes a Product Lifecycle Initiative to repair and resell used Patagonia garments, extending their usable life. This would allow the company to maintain profitability while encouraging less consumption and waste. The initiative faces risks like increased costs and potential quality issues but supports Patagonia's mission and competencies. Outsourcing repairs could help implementation.
