Reducing the Environmental Impact of Fashion

At New2U Preloved Boutique, we believe that fashion should not only look good but also do good for our planet. The fashion industry is one of the largest polluters globally, contributing significantly to environmental degradation.

In the UK alone, around 2 million tonnes of textiles are purchased each year, leading to a staggering 1.2 million tonnes of clothing ending up in landfill annually.

This means that every minute, an equivalent of one garbage truck full of clothing is dumped in landfills across the country.

How to Know What to Do with Your Pre-Loved Items!

At New2U Preloved Boutique, we’re committed to promoting sustainable fashion and reducing waste. Not sure what to do with your pre-loved items? Here are three easy steps to guide you:

Reuse:

If your items are in good condition, we’re happy to reward you with a £20 voucher for every 10kg bag you send our way. This is a fantastic way to declutter while earning some shopping credits! Alternatively, consider donating your clothes to your favourite charity, where they can be resold and give someone else a second chance.

Upcycle:

For items that are past their prime, why not get creative?

Upcycling is a fun way to transform your old clothing into something new and unique.

Whether it’s turning an old pair of jeans into a trendy bag or repurposing a dress into a cushion cover, the possibilities are endless!

Recycle:

If your items are damaged or looking a bit worse for wear, don’t throw them away!

Look for a local textile recycling centre or check with nearby pet charities and homeless shelters—they often appreciate old textiles for various uses.


At New2U Preloved Boutique, we also adhere to these three steps when receiving your items. We ask for all products to be in good condition for resale. However, on occasions when we receive non-sellable items, we’ll make sure they’re either upcycled or recycled, and they will not be included in the Recycling Payout Offer.

Let’s work together to make a positive impact on the environment while giving your pre-loved items a new life!
