23% of Londoner’s clothes are unworn. That’s unsustainable. But we are starting to fix it.
By passing on these clothes to TRAID for someone else to use, you can help to advance the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal Number 12 – to ensure sustainable consumption and production and spark positive change for our planet and its citizens.
Keeping clothes in use for longer is an immediate practical step you can take to reduce the negative environmental impacts of our clothes, while supporting more sustainable production.
In one year, Londoners have passed on ONE MILLION garments to TRAID for someone else to use. That’s a water saving of 412,800,000 litres of water and 2,451 tonnes of CO2e. Take the action here.

Initiatives like this one help everyone recycle their clothes – and to understand why it matters – as well as supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goal Number 12." – Mary Creagh, MP for Wakefield and Chair of Parliament’s Environmental Audit Committee
