The initiative, funded by M&S’ ethical project Plan A, aims to reduce textile waste and promote sustainability. Customers can order the donation bags on the Oxfam website and separate their preloved clothing into two groups – wearable and unwearable. The service also accepts preloved soft furnishings. Oxfam is excited to give unwearable clothes a second chance and promote the recirculation of clothing to reduce the demand for new clothes.
