Your Clothing's Second Chance for a Sustainable World
In today's world, the choices we make hold the power to shape a brighter, more sustainable future. By entrusting your clothing and footwear to the expert hands of Recycle For Funds, you're doing more than just decluttering your wardrobe. With every contribution you make, you're playing a crucial role in protecting our environment and conserving precious resources that are depleting faster than they're being produced.
The statistics speak for themselves: the UK purchases over 2.15 million metric tonnes of new clothes each year, yet more than 1.2 million metric tonnes are discarded. Shockingly, only around 25% of these discarded items are currently being recycled. The majority of these unwanted pieces find their resting place in landfills, contributing to the staggering 10,000 items dumped every five minutes. The silver lining is that the potential for recycling is immense. Up to 99% of denim, corduroy, wool, cotton, and linen clothing items can be recycled.
Our commitment at Recycle For Funds goes beyond mere collection. We partner with recycling plants to ensure that every item is given a chance for a second life. We collect your fit-for-purpose clothing and footwear, taking care of the entire process on your behalf. And yes, in addition to making a significant environmental impact, you'll also be rewarded for your contribution.
We offer compensation of 60 p per kg for footwear and 40 p per kg for textiles collected. By joining forces with Recycle For Funds, schools, groups, and organisations can amplify their efforts and effect change on a larger scale. Together, we can turn unused clothing and footwear into funds while working towards a world that's conscious, caring, and committed to preserving our planet's resources for generations to come.
