Life Cycle Recycling - Giving new life to household goods



Did you know for every tonne of clothing or other textile product reused, you will:


  • Save 300,000 litres of water which is enough to fill almost 5.5 average sized backyard swimming pools.
  • Save 2.3 tonnes of virgin products.
  • Reduce greenhouse gas pollution by 78,000 tonnes which is equal to taking four cars off our roads permanently.
  • Save enough electricity to supply power to over 16 homes for an entire year!
