Reducing Clothing Waste with Get Redressed Month 2022

©Get Redressed Month

The annual Get Redressed Month was launched in Hong Kong by the environmental charity Redress, which aims to raise awareness about the impact of our clothing choices as well as how to reduce clothing waste.

The campaign was first launched in 2018 with 80 participating companies and schools, and this year's edition has grown to engage over 120 participating organizations including offices, schools, retailers, and properties. This year, Get Redressed Month invites citizens to take a look inside their closets and consider how they can reuse, re-wear, and recycle their clothes with a series of activities.

Get Redressed Clothing Drive: Support Hong Kong’s largest annual clothing drive by dropping your unwanted clothing and accessories in one of the many collection boxes across the city, with extra locations available during the month of October.

Sort-a-thon: On November 4, 5, and 7, dozens of corporate and community teams will join Redress to help sort all of the clothing collected during the clothing drive for redistribution to local charity partners, resale in our secondhand pop-up, or recycling.

Get Redressed #ShopSecondhand Pop-up: A curated selection of the best clothing from the clothing drive will be available for purchase at our pop-up at 12/F PCCW Tower in Taikoo Place on November 18–23, with sales from the event going to support the work of Redress.
