Community
We believe communities are key to managing resources more sustainably. This page contains toolkits so your community can take small steps which make a world of difference to the environment.
The Coat Exchange
Did you know 60% of clothing fibres are synthetics, such as plastic based polyester or nylon and that the clothing industry accounts for 8-10% of global greenhouse gases which causes Climate Change.
The Coat Exchange is a great way to update your winter wardrobe in an environmentally conscious way. Coats of all shapes, colours and sizes, no longer needed or wanted, are donated and quality checked before they are made freely available to anyone looking for a new winter coat.
Running a pre-loved clothing event like a Coat Exchange means fewer resources and energy are used to manufacture and transport new clothing, which helps reduce Climate Change, conserve resources and protect habitats.
Our toolkit provides you with everything you need to hold your own Coat Exchange including practical advice, posters, social media assets, and copy. Read our case study to find out more about the positive effects of running a Coat Exchange.
We’d love to hear about your Coat Exchange so tag us into your event too!
Christmas Jumper Swap
Most Christmas jumpers are made with synthetic fibres (like acrylic or polyester), and many are worn only once before being forgotten contributing to plastic pollution and fast fashion waste.
The Christmas Jumper Swap is a fun and festive way to cut waste and save resources during the holiday season. People donate jumpers they’ve outgrown or no longer wear, and pick a “new” one in return — all for free!
Swapping instead of buying new helps reduce the environmental impact of clothing production, lowers carbon emissions, and gives garments a longer life.
Our Christmas Jumper Swap Toolkit includes everything you need to run your own event, it’s perfect for schools, workplaces or community groups! Read our case study to find out how running a Christmas Jumper Swap went for Menston, West Yorkshire.
We’d love to see your festive reusables in action! Tag us on social media and share your swap stories.
Christmas Toolkit
The festive season is a time for joy – but it can also create a lot of waste. Our Christmas Toolkit helps schools, councils, and community groups celebrate sustainably, with practical ideas and ready-to-use resources.
Inside you’ll find social media posts, classroom activities, and tips on reducing waste – from wrapping paper and decorations to food leftovers. Use it to spark conversations, host more environmentally conscious events, and share simple ways to re-use, recycle, and reduce this Christmas.
Download the pack, choose what fits your audience, and deliver a season of thoughtful celebrations!
Valentine’s Day Recycling Toolkit
Recycling helps reduce carbon emissions. Did you know each year on Valentine’s day, the UK sends around 25 million cards, uses approximately 13,500 miles of gift wrap & generates an additional 7,500 tonnes of plastic packaging and 17,000 tonnes of cardboard from online shopping and boxes of chocolates (Business Waste, 2024). Plus, we send a staggering 220 million roses (Floral Daily, 2024)
We have created a simple set of social media assets and messages for you to use to help everyone recycle right this Valentine’s day.
Easter Recycling Toolkit
Did you know that each year at Easter, the UK uses 7,500 miles of wrapping paper, sends 10 million Easter cards and uses 160 tonnes of foil packaging. Not only that, but a staggering 8 million hot cross buns are wasted, 8 million Easter eggs are uneaten and Easter Sunday lunch results in 5 million slices of roast meat, 19 million roast potatoes and 20 million portions of veg being left over! (Business Waste, 2025).
We have created social media assets to promote recycling and reduce food waste this Easter. In addition, we have developed school resources to teach young people to recycle right and get creative with left over eggshells and food.
