RECYCLE YOUR CLOTHES TO THOSE WHO NEED THEM…

Clothes Vintage

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.

I set up Crafted By B Studio after retiring from writing a blog for over 10 years on chronic pain. As a chronic pain sufferer myself I had always used art as a way to relax and take me away from my pain and stumbled upon paint by numbers by fluke. I was hooked from day one and went into custom paint by numbers as I progressed with my others. Over the past 3 years I have completed over 20 pieces and also made some of my own unique pieces. I am happy to help anyone who might like a custom picture made into a piece of beautiful art using this type of technology. I am also interested in lots of different types of crafts which I enjoy with my 4 grandchildren so my site will have lots of links and posts on mixed crafts and arts.
