Our Partnership with Redress

Redress is a Hong Kong-based, Asia-focused environmental NGO on a mission to accelerate the transition to a circular fashion industry by educating and empowering designers and consumers in order to reduce clothing’s negative environmental impacts.

Redress’ programmes primarily target fashion designers and consumers, and they collaborate with brands, manufacturers, research institutions, schools, and corporates. Redress work to create better ways to design, produce, purchase, use and recycle clothing. Although their work has global reach, Redress are proudly Asia-focused, since Asia is the world’s largest producer and consumer of textiles and apparel.

Their education programmes with primary and secondary schools focus on driving positive behavioural change amongst Hong Kong’s youth. They aim to not just help students learn about the environmental impact of their clothing choices, but also to encourage changes in habits and get students excited about making a life-long commitment to sustainability by guiding them to reflect on the impact they can make for people, the community and the environment as consumers and future leaders. Since 2018, Redress has partnered with 90+ schools and organisations, and engaged over 8,700 students and educators.

Over the last three years, Redress’ Takeback programme collected and redistributed approximately 57 tonnes of unwanted clothing. Through our partnership with Redress, we hope to reduce school uniform waste and make Redress Schools educational resources available to more schools.
