Rethinking Fashion
Fashion is creating waste faster than the planet can handle. 92 million tonnes of textiles are discarded globally each year; that’s equivalent to a truckload of clothes thrown out every single second.
The impact isn’t hidden anymore. It’s urgent.
Rethinking Impact
Impact Retail helps you see the real story behind what you wear and shows how small choices can drive big change. It makes sustainability simple, accessible, and part of everyday life.
Because change doesn’t just start with the industry. It starts with us.
About Impact Retail
Impact Retail is a three-year consumer-facing initiative that aims to educate, empower, and inspire individuals to embrace more conscious fashion lifestyles.

Circular Fashion and Textile Waste Reduction
Textile waste is one of the growing environmental challenges facing the global fashion industry. Circular fashion focuses on reducing waste by extending the lifespan of clothing through reuse, repair, repurposing, and recycling. By exploring denim upcycling and sustainable production practices, participants can better understand how businesses and consumers can contribute to a more resource-efficient and environmentally responsible fashion ecosystem.

BETTER
👖 We have a denim problem.
Every year, an estimated 92 million tonnes of textile waste is generated worldwide.
Every second, the equivalent of one garbage truck of clothing is burned or sent to landfill.
The good news? Making a difference doesn’t have to mean overhauling your entire wardrobe.
✨ Wear your favourite jeans for longer
🧵 Repair them when they need some love
♻️ Donate, swap or recycle them when it’s time to let go
Because the most sustainable pair of jeans isn’t the newest one.
It’s the one that stays in use.
Curious about what happens before—and after—your denim reaches your wardrobe?

Turns out, old jeans have a second act. 👖✨
Before these became bookmarks, cup holders and charms, they were simply a pile of unwanted denim waiting for a new purpose.
At our Upcycling Workshop, every stitch gives discarded fabric another chance. No sewing experience needed, just a little creativity and a willingness to see waste differently.
Who knew yesterday’s jeans could become today’s favorite coffee companion or the bookmark that finally gets you to finish that book? 😉
