Take Back Bag
Clean out your closet and ensure your natural fibres don't end up in the landfill. We'll take your natural fiber products (any brand) and make sure they're included in our textile recycling initiative. Fill your bag and slap on the pre-paid shipping label and click the link to book the courier, too easy. Small changes make a big impact and together we can save even more textile waste from landfill!
Please note these are dispatched via regular post so may take up to 7 days to reach you.
How to use your take back bag:
1. Fill - Fill your bag with preloved clothing, sheets and towels. Please make sure your items are clean, dry and 100% natural fibres. This bag should fit approximately 10-tshirts.
2. Return - We will mail you a pre-printed shipping label to return to us; simply book the courier at: www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/bookapickup/address

Love having this option to recycle all my ripped and holey clothes and linen that have lost the will to live.
Arrived in super quick time and was large enough to fit three double fitted sheets.
This is such an amazing initiative, knowing there's another avenue for our end-of-life clothes. Thank you for this important mahi
