We’ve made it possible for you to send back your unwanted clothing, linen and shoes for reuse and recycling to ensure they have a second life. Better yet, we’re rewarding you for doing so.
On average, Australians purchase 27kg of new textiles each year and then discard around 23kg into landfill – annually.
Building on our ethos to minimise waste as well as continue our commitment to a more sustainable industry, we’ve teamed up with textile recyclers UPPAREL to make it easy for you to have an immediate impact on textile landfill.
On average, Australians purchase 27kg of new textiles each year and then discard around 23kg into landfill - annually. This means that 6,000kg of textile waste is being disposed of in Australia every 10 minutes.
For every 1kg of textiles you divert from landfill, you’ll be preventing 3-4kg of greenhouse gases from polluting the atmosphere. UPPAREL makes it easy and take the hassle out of determining whether to reuse, upcycle or recycle your textiles.
By implementing their philosophy of reuse first where possible, then upcycle when necessary, UPPAREL will ensure that nothing is ever sent off-shore or dumped in landfill.
You’ll score $25 back in store credit just for participating in the program. Spend it knowing that you’ve positively contributed to the fight against textile landfill.
