Recycle, Rewear and Revamp your wardrobe with H&M Conscious collection

Join H&M in being more conscious with your fashion choices. As the discussion on sustainable fashion gains continuous to catch fire, H&M have released their newest efforts to support the change to an economically aware industry with their newest #HMConsciousExclusive collection that released online on 26 September 2019.

What is sustainable fashion?

The goal of sustainable fashion is to create clothes that are people-friendly without leaving a negative footprint on the environment by avoiding materials that contain toxins, carcinogens and other harmful chemicals.

H&M continuously push us as their consumers to help contribute to their journey with their garment collecting programme to prevent our unwanted clothes from going to landfill. Did you know that only 15% of consumers actually recycle their clothing? BUT – last year alone, H&M helped to reuse and recycle 20,649 tonnes of textiles through their #reinventfashion initiative, which is the equivalent to 103 million t-shirts! Clothes from the donation boxes are collected by I:CO and sorted in 3 categories: REWEAR, REUSE and RECYCLE. Don’t be afraid to take along your old and battered clothes as H&M have stated ‘drop off clothes and textiles from ANY brand, in ANY condition’ and to top it all off you will receive a £5 voucher per bag to spend online or in-store.
