Upcycling
Did you know Australians dispose of six tonnes of clothing waste every ten minutes with only 15-20% recycled?
The average person buys 60% more items per year and keeps them for approximately three years, generating a massive amount of waste.
Only about 0.1% of recycled fibre received from charities and takeback programs is recycled into new textile fibre.
If each piece of clothing life was extended by three months, there would be a reduction in the world carbon and water footprints, as well as reduced waste generation of five to 10%.
With a limited income or eco-consciousness many of us seek out ways to extend the life of our current clothes or upcycle from op shops or buy nothing Facebook pages.
SewAble provides you with the opportunity to access and use a local, eco conscious service to alter and upcycle your favourite textiles and keep the memories of your special items.
