Remarks
- Did you know that in Hong Kong we dump around 170 tonnes of clothes in our landfills every day, equivalent to around 1.2 million t-shirts? There’s no getting away from it, the fashion industry is hugely polluting. Redress is a pioneering Hong Kong environmental charity with a mission to educate and empower the fashion industry and consumers to reduce clothings negative environmental impact by shifting to circular solutions. One of the ways we do this is by increasing the re-sale, re-use and recycling of clothing. Through our Clothing Takeback Programme, we collect unwanted clothing from Hong Kongers, and then carefully sort it together with volunteers in order to redistribute it for re-sale at Redress' secondhand stores, re-use by those in need in our community through our work with 10+ local charity partners, or recycling. Our careful sorting process maximises the value of each item, better supports our charity partners by matching clothing with their specific needs, and reduces wastage. As a part of the community and consumers, you can join our work in circular fashion by participating in our regular "sorting sessions". There will be a briefing before volunteering on the day of the event.
