- Can we know more about the delivery and pickup of the collection boxes?

- What will Redress provide for the clothing drive?
- The production, delivery, and pickup of the clothing collection boxes, which are designed to indicate what clothing items are accepted and where the collected clothing will go
- An update on the quantity your organisation has collected (shared in June)
- A poster to help you promote the clothing drive
- A factsheet to provide knowledge about the environmental impact of the fashion industry
- Where will the clothes go?
- Items collected will be sorted into different categories at the Sort-a-Thon event. After they are carefully checked, they’ll be redistributed: 50%-60% will be given to local charities, 20-30% will be downcycled, 10%-15% will be resold at our popup/shops. Only damaged non-textile items (broken shoes, plastic bags, etc) will go to landfill, which represents less than 4%.

- What about clothes that cannot be reused?
- Clothes that have reached the end of their ‘wearable’ life (e.g. used personal items like underwear, socks, sleepwear, and swimwear, or really worn out/stained/damaged items), or clothes that our charity partners don’t want (e.g. company/school uniforms), are difficult for us to deal with. Globally, including in Hong Kong, there is a lack of viable recycling technologies to deal with these ‘bottom layer’ clothes at scale. At the moment, Redress is working with a partner in Hong Kong to downcycle these items, by shredding the materials and using them to produce boxing bags (to be sent to Thailand boxing schools). Metal pieces (zipper, buttons) are removed at the shredding process to be recycled separately. Each boxing bag requires approximately 40–50 kg of shredded materials. We also send some unwearable to HKRITA to support the development of their Green Machine, which allows fibre-to-fibre recycling for blended textiles.
