What can people do to reduce their fashion footprint?
One thing that everyone can do is to shop second hand rather than always buying brand new items. Buying new items all the time is contributing to a throwaway society and is a very linear way of looking at our waste. By buying second-hand items, and items that are made out of recyclable materials, we can close the loop and contribute to a circular economy. This helps Vinnies raise money for people who need it, while also helping to reduce fashion and textile waste from landfill.
Residents keen to recycle not fit for sale materials can also drop off 10kg bags marked not fit for sale to our Lavington Store during business hours, and we will commit to recycling these items.
