How do you upcycle materials?
Some materials will be passed on to our fantastic Repair Cafe volunteers or Sussex Volunteer Crafters who create wonderful things for communities locally and further afield. If materials can’t be upcycled, they will be used to make cleaning cloths and dusters or will be recycled as a last resort.
Why are you charging for the uniform when other projects are free?
Your old uniform still has a value. We hope our trade-in scheme will keep more school uniform in circulation for longer.
We need to move towards a circular economy where materials continue their life for as long as possible before they are re-used or reinvented to keep our valuable resources in circulation instead of being sent to landfill. A circular economy also provides local jobs and keeps money in the local economy.
