Sustainability
Clothing demand more than doubled between 2000 and 2018, driven by the increased middle class, shorter fashion cycles and garment life.
For every tonne of garments reused rather than sent to landfill, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by around seven tonnes of CO₂ equivalent.
This demonstrates the powerful environmental benefit of reuse.
Producing just one kilogram of cotton can require between 10,000 and 20,000 litres of water, highlighting the importance of extending the life of existing textiles wherever possible.
