This October, we’re running a series of fun and educational activities across Hong Kong for local and international schools, companies, and clubs, all focused on shifting attitudes about clothing consumption towards reducing fashion waste and the environmental impacts of our choices.

Consumers now buy 60% more clothes than they did 15 years ago [1], but behind this increased appetite lies a trail of waste and pollution, with an estimated 92 million tons of textile waste created annually from the fashion industry [2].

Our community clothes-sorting sessions have resumed, and we need your help! We are currently facing a 7-tonne backlog of unsorted clothing in our warehouse storage, waiting to be recirculated to our charity partners and other recycling channels. Visit HandsOn Hong Kong to sign up for volunteering and help us tackle this pile-up!

Due to the ongoing situation with COVID in Hong Kong and associated social restrictions which prevent us from holding volunteer sorting sessions, we have made the difficult decision to pause our clothing takeback programme.

Redress Releases FIRST EVER Children’s Comic Book about Sustainable Clothing Habits

Redress is delighted to launch today, ‘Yoyo and the World’s Coolest T-Shirt,’ a new comic book produced to help young children change their mindset toward fashion waste through prevention and transformation of fashion waste into useful products. In Hong Kong, 170 tonnes of clothing are sent to landfill every day, a waste of the labour and natural resources to produce these garments.

REDRESS CELEBRATES A RECORD-BREAKING GET REDRESSED MONTH

Get Redressed Month is an annual campaign that shines a spotlight on the issue of clothing waste. Our signature events encourage Hongkongers to rethink how they buy, use and dispose of clothing. In October 2021, thousands of companies, clubs, schools and individuals across Hong Kong chose to give their unwanted clothes a new life by participating in Hong Kong’s largest clothing drive, and some went even further and gave secondhand clothing a try too.
