We send 496kgs of clothing waste to landfill in New Zealand, every 5 minutes.

This enormous waste of valuable resources is the driver behind our Circular Design Awards. It's the reason we focus on education designers and businesses on how to design for the circular economy and keep clothing and textiles in use.

Check out our short video explaining the textile waste challenges in NZ and globally, and why we focus on designing a new circular system for fashion, one where people, nature and business can all thrive.
