As you know most of our well-worn clothing is not suitable for charity or second-hand clothing stores and dumping our clothes on them comes at an enormous cost... So now we have a solution that is much more sustainable!
Upparel offer a circular fashion model to save on our individual landfill waste. Providing an actionable solution to reusing and recycling garments, Upparel are helping us achieve actionable measures towards tackling the climate crisis.
To date, Upparel have saved an incredible 1,747,768 items from landfill, made up of clothing, linen and shoes. This impact has saved 883,921kg of greenhouse gases polluting the atmosphere.
Our partnership with Upparel offers you an easy solution to minimise your waste, de-clutter and do good for the environment. Just clear out your wardrobe and pack up to 10kg into a box, and have it collected at a small cost of $25. As an added bonus, we will reward you with a $25 Cloth & Co. gift voucher to spend on any full-priced item online!

"If the fashion sector continues on its current trajectory, the share of the carbon budget could jump to 26% by 2050, associated with a 2°C pathway. Moving away from the current linear and wasteful textiles system is therefore crucial to keeping within reach of the 2°C average global warming limit"
Ellen Macarthur Foundation
There's no easy solution but together we can help keep fashion circular and work towards reducing our carbon footprint and a more sustainable future.
