At Caravan & Co, we are deeply committed to sustainability, and recognise that our responsibility in our line of work is not only great, but necessary for the future of our planet and the textiles community. The uncomfortable truth is that one third of new clothing goes from factory to landfill, whilst one in eight adults and one in six children do not have adequate access to essential clothing.
Over the past decade, charity Thread Together have been working at this issue by saving new clothing from going to landfill and providing these clothes to people in need. By donating unsold and excess inventory to Thread Together, we contribute to their mission of providing clothing to those in need while minimizing landfill waste. This collaboration not only supports our sustainability goals but also reinforces our dedication to social responsibility, ensuring that every step we take towards a greener future also benefits the broader community.
Since 2012, Thread Together have saved 5,503,497 items from landfill, and have clothed 2500 people in need each week. Head to their website to learn more about their work, or if you wish to volunteer of financially support them.
