When it comes to fundraising, finding a solution that raises money and supports sustainability is a win-win.
That’s exactly what clothes recycling offers. By collecting and reusing unwanted clothes, your organisation can generate regular income and reduce environmental harm, all without the need for traditional fundraising events.
The UK sends an estimated 350,000 tonnes of clothing to landfills every year. Recycling clothing keeps valuable textiles out of landfills and extends their life cycle, reducing the strain on natural resources.
Producing new garments generates significant carbon emissions. By reusing clothing, we reduce the demand for fast fashion and the environmental cost of manufacturing, transportation, and disposal.
Textile production is water-intensive. Recycling clothing saves thousands of litres of water and a huge amount of energy that would otherwise be used in making new clothes.
Clothes banks provide a reliable source of income all year round. Unlike one-off fundraisers, they generate steady returns with minimal effort required.
Encouraging clothing donations builds a sense of purpose and sustainability in your community. It offers a simple way for people to support your cause without donating money.
Showing your commitment to sustainability can boost your organisation’s public image, align with eco-conscious supporters, and set a positive example for others.
Clothes recycling isn’t just good for the planet, it’s a powerful way to support your organisation’s goals too. At Fundraise & Recycle, we make it easy to get started. Our fully managed clothes bank service takes care of everything from setup to collection so you can focus on creating impact.
Join us in building a greener future while raising the funds your organisation needs to thrive.
