If you haven’t heard of the M&S Shwopping scheme then read this article.
M&S launched a shwopping unwanted clothes scheme with Oxfam with recycling bins or Shwop Drops, which are in all M&S stores across the UK (except Simply Food ones).
You simply deposit your unwanted clothes (M&S and non-M&S) into the bins.
The target is for M&S to recycle as many clothes as it sells which is around 300 million items a year.
One million tonnes of clothes are thrown away in the UK each year and about half of these end up in landfill but none of the donations you give will go into landfill, instead good used clothing will be sold via Oxfam. Even ones that are not suitable to sell will be recycled.
For more details on this and other M&S environmental and ethical plans go to http://www.plana.marksandspencer.com

One million tons of clothes is a lot of clothes.
