Transforming old uniforms in pioneering recycling scheme
 

We’re working with the textiles team at HMP Northumberland to recycle our old uniforms.

 

With around 30 million tonnes of corporate wear sent to landfill each year in the UK, we looked for a creative solution to transform our old uniforms. Under our new scheme, these clothes will now become new items such as blankets, bags, and coats to help those living on the street. They will be donated to the Albert Kennedy Trust, which supports young LGBT homeless people, HMP Askham Grange and our charity partner, Rethink Mental Illness. The partnership is also part of a rehabilitation scheme that helps to prepare prisoners for employment and life outside of prison.
