Can your old clothing improve the future? Yes!
At UNIQLO, we
recycle your used garments and turn it into brand new clothing.
Take
our recycled down initiative. We collect UNIQLO down garments from all
over the world and transform them into new products. We also work
alongside NGOs and partners to distribute wearable used clothing to
refugees, disaster victims and others in need worldwide.
At
UNIQLO, we believe in the power of clothing to create a better tomorrow.
Our recycling programme is just one part of our sustainability efforts
to Recycle, Reuse, and Reduce.
Please join us in our
recycling efforts. We—and the planet—thank you.
A new life for UNIQLO clothing
We collect secondhand clothes in stores and deliver them to people in
need around the world. Alongside the United Nations Refugee Agency
(UNHCR), NGOs and non-profit organisations, we help to provide emergency
clothing aid for refugee camps and disaster areas. Clothing that cannot
be reused is recycled. Recently, we have been actively recycling
garments into brand new clothing, starting with our down products.
Collect
We collect secondhand clothing that customers no long need in
RE.UNIQLO boxes placed in each store.
Sort
We sort donations into clothes that can be reworn and clothes that
can be used for another purpose through recycling.
Reuse
Clothes are classified into 18 different categories, including
season, gender, size, adult, child, climate, culture, or religion
to ensure they fulfill each recipient's specific needs.
Recycle
Using unique technology developed in collaboration with TORAY, we
can recycle down products and feathers into brand new clothing.
Global Assistance
We deliver clothing to refugees and displaced people all over the
world with specific clothing they'll need. Recycled soundproofing
material is sent to factories, while down and feathers are
recycled into new clothes.
