LONG LIVE YOUR CLOTHES
As discarded items of clothing continue to clog our tips, Vanish has partnered with textile upcycling pioneers UPPAREL to slow the tide and help our clothes lead longer lives.
The way we shop (and ruthlessly declutter) has changed. Australians buy 60 per cent more clothing than we did 15 years ago and we only keep our purchases for half as long†. Whether we just fall out of love or lose treasured pieces to ingrained stains, the casualties usually wind up in landfill sites across the country.
It is estimated that Australians dispose of around 6000kg of clothing every 10 minutes, making us the second-highest consumer of textiles per person in the world†. If you’re wondering what can be done, try the simple act of using quality garment care products to help make clothes last longer, as well as a textile recycling program that’s e ective and easy to get on board with.
As part of its commitment to helping clothes lead longer lives, Vanish is proud to partner with UPPAREL – an Australian organisation whose mission is to reduce textile waste. UPPAREL launched its Clothing Recycling Collection in late 2019 as a textile recycling service that accepts clothing from anywhere in Australia. For $25, participants can have up to 10 kilograms of clean textiles collected from their front door and thoughtfully repurposed. Learn more at upparel.com.au.
Help your clothes last longer, then dispose of them with care
Vanish has teamed up with UPPAREL to educate Australians on how to help reduce textile waste. By purchasing any Vanish Gold Multi Power product at Woolworths between August 10 and September 6, 2022††, you will receive a complimentary $25 UPPAREL pick-up so you can divert your unwanted clothing and linen from landfill. You can help extend the life of your clothes with Vanish and thoughtfully dispose of those textile items you no longer need. Clothes live longer with Vanish.^
TOGETHER, WE CAN HELP TO #MAKETEXTILEWASTEVANISH BY COMBINING QUALITY GARMENT CARE WITH THOUGHTFUL UPCYCLING WHEN IT’S TIME TO CULL OUR WARDROBES.
