HNY from NuMoon Design Agency!
With Christmas and New Year done, which was all about reconnecting with loved ones and taking a breather to reflect on the year, I’m getting back into work mode and diving into the world of circularity.
I've been digging into the fuzzy area of "take-back schemes," which seems to be a bit of a puzzle when it comes to closing the loop. Many clothing companies are doing cool things like reducing, repairing, remaking, renting, recovering, and recycling. But, you know what? We still have a load of unwanted stuff ending up in landfills. So, where's the issue?
This morning, while lounging in bed with my coffee and laptop, I came across a gem of a PDF from wrap.org.uk called "Retailer-clothing-take-back-guide." It's like the ultimate guide for retailers, brands, and anyone into re-use and recycling. It covers all sorts of things:
Why it matters
Tips for getting the word out
How people donate
Where folks in the UK are donating
Insights into UK Citizen Donations
Different take-back schemes
Getting into partnerships (commercial, charity, your own take-back)
Online re-use and recycling apps
Retail landlord-led initiatives
Picking what suits your business
Practical tips for running a scheme
Dealing with unwanted items
And a lot more. Seriously, it's a goldmine. If you're into this stuff, give it a read. You can find it here: Link to the PDF.
