Hong Kong-based Redress expanded its Circular Fashion Education Toolkit, a free education hub with fun and interactive educational resources about circular fashion, designed for students and educators and is available in both English and Chinese.

Users can browse the interactive learning website 'Our Jeans and Planet' to take a virtual field trip through a world of 3D graphics to create their own pair of jeans and learn about the environmental impacts of each decision they make along the way. Also, students can flip open 'Yoyo and the World's Coolest T-shirt', Hong Kong's first educational comic book for kids about sustainable fashion, so that they can follow along as schoolgirl Yoyo and her brother Kevin come up with ways to save a favorite, super-powered T-shirt from being thrown away. Besides, people can find more ways to upcycle clothing with 'Circular Fashion in Hong Kong', a student-made video series exploring the current landscape of sustainable fashion in the city.

In addition to the new resources, Redress also provides three 'Circular Fashion Learning Modules' to explore key issues in the fashion industry and four sets of flexible teacher guidelines to support educators in making use of the toolkit to share sustainability in their curriculum across a wide range of subjects.

Redress is an environmental charity with a mission to prevent and transform textile waste to catalyze a circular economy and reduce fashion's water, chemical, and carbon footprints. This spring, Redress launched three new online resources for primary and secondary students and educators to build their knowledge on sustainability in fashion.
