FUTURE PROJECTS
Establishing a Circular Fashion Program & partner with a recycling textile business to then enable consumers will send to us their unwanted clothes for recycling, in return customers will receive a 'REDUCED IMAPCT WARRIOR' voucher.
Circular fashion is a term used within the fashion industry that aims to create a closed-loop system, reducing waste and maximising the lifespan textiles & clothing. It aligns with the principles of Circular Economy by rethinking how garments are designed, produced, used, and disposed of.
