We believe communities are key to managing plastic more sustainably. This page contains toolkits so your community can take small steps which make a world of difference to the environment.
The Coat Exchange
Did you know 60% of clothing fibres are synthetics, such as plastic based polyester or nylon and that the clothing industry accounts for 8-10% of global greenhouse gases which causes Climate Change.
The Coat Exchange is a great way to update your winter wardrobe in an environmentally conscious way. Coats of all shapes, colours and sizes, no longer needed or wanted, are donated and quality checked before they are made freely available to anyone looking for a new winter coat.
Running a pre-loved clothing event like a Coat Exchange means fewer resources and energy are used to manufacture and transport new clothing, which helps reduce the effects of Climate Change, conserve resources and protect habitats.
Our toolkit provides you with everything you need to hold your own Coat Exchange including practical advice, posters, social media assets, and copy.
We’d love to hear about your Coat Exchange so tag us into your event too!
