Give forward by bringing back

This month I have decided to write a very important and quick post on helping out H&M with their garment collecting initiative. It actually goes no all year round, not just this month only.

Each year tons of clothing ends up wastefully ends up in land fill that could be used again. This means up to 95% could be used again. H&M are passionate about decreasing the waste and closing the fashion loop. Reusing or recycling all old textiles in any condition so they can bring it back to life encouraging zero waste. They want to reduce the environmental impact that the fashion industry has on the environment.

Together we can close the loop

By dropping off all your unwanted clothes, worn, torn or out of style will be reused and turned into raw materials for new products in the future. Textiles that can’t be reused get a second chance as textiles fibres for cleaning cloths, or used to manufacture products for insulation materials for the auto industry.

H&M garment collection

H&M are happy to receive any bag full of clothing or home textiles as you want to hand in to any store around the country. Your textiles are sent with their usual deliveries to the nearest processing plant. They are graded and hand-sorted with zero waste in mind. If the item is too worn or torn to be reused it will be recycled into a new product.

Reuse, recycle or rewear

H&M does not profit from the returned garments? No,  instead they use their own revenues to reward customers to make to local charity organisations investing in recycling innovations.  When rewear, reuse and recycle are not an option, the textiles are used to produce energy.

Donate bags all year round

For each bag you donate you will receive one voucher of 15% for each bag you hand in, with a maximum of two vouchers per day. These vouchers are redeemable on your next purchase, what a great reward!!!

H&M star charity

For each kilo that they collect about 3 cents will be donated to your local charity organisation chosen by H&M. To find out more about the amount of textiles collected and the money donated, visit hm.charitystar.com or to learn more visit hm.com/garment-collectingion-spirit.com
