We are very pleased to announce that Gap has joined Redress as our new clothing take back partner in Hong Kong. Gap stores participating in the programme where you can now donate your unwanted clothes to Redress include: Queen’s Road Central, Festival Walk, Citygate, Hysan Place and Albion Plaza.
Did you know that if we double the amount of times an item of clothing is worn, on average greenhouse gas emissions would be a huge 44% lower? At Redress, it’s our mission to keep items in use for longer. All the donations Redress receives through our collection partners are carefully sorted by our Circular Fashion team and volunteers for resale at our secondhand clothing pop-up shops, for reuse by 20+ local charities or recycling.
Thanks to our partners and volunteers, in 2019 Redress collected and redistributed approximately 30 tonnes of Hong Kong’s unwanted clothing. Find out more about what happens to your donated clothes here.
