TRAID
TRAID (Textile Recycling for Aid and International Development) is the leading fashion recycling charity encouraging more clothes recycling in the UK, and raising funds to fight global poverty at the same time. Every year in the UK, 1.2 million tonnes of clothing and shoes end up in landfill, enough to fill Wembley Stadium three times. TRAID thinks it’s time that people started to examine their fashion conscience and say no to cheap throwaway clothing. TRAID makes recycling easy through its network of over 900 recycling banks and ethical as all the profits raised in TRAID shops support innovative international development projects. By donating your unwanted clothing, buying second hand from a TRAID shop, or from our award winning recycled fashion label TRAIDremade, people can beat the monotony of the high street, and shop ethically.
