[Get Redressed Month 2024: Your Clothes, Our Planet.] This May, we’re digging deep into our closets to help reduce fashion waste, landfill items and show our planet some love. https://lnkd.in/eZZTXX9 With 23 Collection Points at our office lobbies and malls across Hong Kong, we’re making it easy for you to do your part. The goal is simple: to collectively give our clothing a second life so they can be loved longer. Once the drive ends, Redress will arrange a Sort-a-thon and then host a secondhand pop-up event at Lincoln House (11/F) from 18 - 23 June. This is part of our continuing sustainability and greater placemaking efforts to build vibrant communities where people can thrive.

How great is it that the City of New York recognise the negative impact textiles have on the environment and our climate?! 🚀 They also know that they are the largest purchaser of textiles in New York, so they set up the NYC task force to come up with guidelines and recommendations for future purchasing and disposal of textiles. 🤘 So proud to see our very own Thomasine Dolan Dow as a key part of the NYC Task Force. The Task force will make recommendations on sustainable and innovative materials that are environmentally preferable, taking into consideration: - environmentally preferable materials that are appropriate for the end product - transparency of supply chain - performance criteria - end of life strategy #nextgenmaterials #circularfashion #fashionrevolution #sustainability #sustainablefashion #veganfashion #futureoffashion #materialinnovation #sustainablematerials #plantbased #plantbasedfashion

What I saw this weekend! A Glimpse into Fast Fashion's Overwhelming Waste 👀 This weekend, I walked through an overstock warehouse looking for tile and what I saw was eye-opening—a vivid illustration of the excesses of fast fashion: 📦 Bins on Bins: Row after row filled with unsold clothes, most destined for the landfill. The sheer volume of waste was staggering. 🌍 Environmental Impact: Each unsold item represents wasted resources—water, labor, and energy—used in vain. 🔄 Need for Change: This experience reinforced the urgent need for sustainable practices in the fashion industry. We must support sustainable brands, push for better recycling technologies, and shift our consumer habits towards more ethical choices. What steps can you take to combat fast fashion waste? #SustainableFashion #WasteNotWantNot #EthicalChoices #FashionRevolution #EnvironmentalAwareness #Torianna

🌿 The Green Thread in Fashion’s Fabric 🌍✨ Fashion’s future is green, and it starts with the very fabric of our clothes. While conventional materials leave a heavy footprint on our planet, eco-friendly alternatives pave the way for a more sustainable and ethical industry. Conventional vs. Eco-Friendly: Traditional fabrics often come with environmental baggage – water pollution, harmful chemicals, and a high carbon footprint. Eco-friendly materials, however, promise reduced environmental impact, conservation of resources, and support for ethical labor practices. Why It Matters: Choosing eco-friendly materials isn’t just about the fabric; it’s about supporting a cycle of sustainability that benefits the planet, from water conservation to reducing landfill waste. Let’s embrace materials that love our planet as much as we do. From organic cotton and hemp to recycled polyester and Tencel, every choice towards sustainability is a step towards a better world. #SustainableFashion #EcoChicExpress #EcoFriendlyMaterials #FashionRevolution #SustainableLiving”

Independent Marketing Consultant & Project Manager! Co-founder of Espresso Kart Coffee Bars. Ex SCANIA UK, Mercedes-Benz, ACS Clothing | Circular Fashion Hub.
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting Laura Young, also known as 'Less Waste Laura', at our The Coffee Bar & Kart in Prestwick. If you don't know Laura yet, I highly recommend getting to know her. You may have even seen her on The Sunday Show yesterday morning on BBC. Laura is truly a 'Voice with Value' and an inspiration within the Scottish community. She passionately discusses all the relevant hot topics that support our environment. Laura and I first met a couple of years ago when I introduced her to sustainable fashion rental options with Hirestreet. The best part was that Hirestreet uses ACS (Advanced Clothing Solutions), a circular fashion hub based in Glasgow. We had the fortunate chance to style Laura for some exciting events in Scotland. However, this weekend, our conversation shifted to a completely different area of sustainability: coffee! As you know, Stuart Pell and I own independent coffee bars in Ayrshire, and we are always looking for ways to be 'more sustainable' and 'circular'. Last month, we launched an exciting new product: 'Pumpkin Spiced Coffee Scrub'. This scrub is made from coffee grounds that are typically discarded every day. Coffee has many benefits, and we want to ensure these grounds are used to their full potential. To bring this idea to life, we collaborated with 'White Rabbit Skincare', a local Kilmarnock company, to create a skincare product using our coffee grounds. This is a perfect example of a circular product. It's ultimately about meeting people who align with your values. Laura embodies these values, and our discussions inspire and drive our commitment to sustainability. If you would like to discuss sustainability opportunities for your business - get in touch anytime. #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #LessWasteLaura #CoffeeLovers #EspressoKart #CommunityEngagement #EnvironmentalImpact #Prestwick #Ayrshire

5 Small Ways You Can Be More Sustainable 🌱 Ditch fast fashion: it’s time to quit over-consumption. We know it. You know it. But fashion can still be fun! Invest instead in quality pieces, and take care to mend and repair your existing wardrobe. Reuse, always! Think reusable bags, water bottles, make-up cloths, wrapping paper and containers. Opt for sustainable transport options. Take public transport more frequently, or enjoy the outdoors by walking or cycling! 🚲 Switch to eco-friendly appliances. This means electric kettles, air fryers or electric composters that focus on energy efficiency. You’ll be saving the planet at the same time as your water and utility bills. Support local, sustainable businesses and shop independently. From cafes to boutiques to charity shops, never underestimate the potential of your personal shopping habits. You CAN literally vote with your wallet ❤️ #sustainability #sustainabilityleadership #londonsustainability
