How we Work
📍 Collection Point
Students drop off used clothes at designated bins. These collection points are placed in convenient locations around schools to encourage participation and make the process seamless.
The bins are strategically placed in high-traffic areas to make it easy for students to drop off their old clothes. This process helps reduce the number of clothes that end up in landfills, making a positive environmental impact.

⚙️ Breaking Down
Fabrics that can't be reused are shredded into yarn, which can then be repurposed into new materials. This process helps significantly reduce our school's textile waste.
The shredded fabric is processed into fibers, which are then spun into yarn and used to create new fabrics. This method ensures that even damaged clothes are given a second life, supporting a more sustainable approach to textile waste.

🧵 New Creations
The shredded yarn is spun into new fabrics, which are then used to create fresh clothes and other garments, supporting a circular economy. These newly created fabrics are used to produce new clothing and sustainable items.
By recycling old clothes, we establish a circular system where materials are continually reused, minimizing the demand for virgin resources and promoting sustainability.
