About Us

As a charity, we rely on your generosity to fuel our mission. Here are several ways to support our work.

Educational resources

Circular fashion for consumers

We want to redress — i.e. “to remedy and set right” — fashion. So we’re working at the heart of fashion, with fashion consumers, who each have influential responsibilities in how we buy, wear, care and pass on our clothes. Consumers are driving a booming industry with our fashion spending:

  • Around 100 billion apparel items are produced each year, approximately doubling from 2006, and the majority of this is landfilled or burned within one year of production.2
  • The fashion industry globally is an estimated $2.5 trillion annual business, representing approximately 3% of global gross domestic product.1

Educational Resources

We offer a large variety of educational resources for Designers, Consumers, Students, and Teachers/Educators. First, select your audience type using the dropdown below, then select either the Regenerate, Make, Reuse, Recycle, or Circular Fashion System filters to source the resource most suitable for you. Alternatively, if you know what resource you’re looking for, you can use the search bar on the right.
