Hybrid Activities 

In line with the 12th, 11th and 8th SDGs, we offer our fabric recycling process with the sole aim of diverting textile waste from landfills and into purposeful items. These items are then sold to generate revenue for our business. We also plant a tree for every purchase made from our store and collect and donate once-loved clothes to those in need.
