GET REDRESSED MONTH TO RAISE CONSUMER AWARENESS ON CLOTHING WASTE BY INSPIRING ACTION

Hong Kongers are invited to supporting secondhand fashion with a citywide clothing drive, 24-hour volunteer sorting event, and pop-up shop

[21 September 2022, Hong Kong] – Redress, the pioneering environmental NGO with a mission to educate and empower consumers and the fashion industry to reduce clothing’s negative environmental impact, is returning with its annual consumer campaign, Get Redressed Month, this October. 

With around 170 tonnes of unwanted clothing sent to landfills daily in Hong Kong, equivalent in weight to around 1.2 million T-shirts (1), comes a great need to address such waste. Redress is committed to challenging consumer behaviours by raising awareness and inspiring action with the Get Redressed Month campaign, now in its fifth year running.
