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
We believe in the positive power of fashion. That’s why, to date, we have:
Collected and sorted over 130 tonnes of unwanted clothing
Reached 18,000 young students and teachers with educational resources and activities
Directly engaged 3,000+ corporate employees through talks and volunteer activities
Get inspired and informed about ways you can transform fashion through our thought-leadership videos, consumer book, various magazines, docu-series and interviews.
Let’s redress — i.e. “remedy or set right” — fashion. Together.
