Textile production requires lots of resources – and is detrimental to the environment and the lives of people who work in the production.
In Sweden, an average of 7.5 kilos of textiles per person are discarded annually – often fully functional clothes.
Many people are getting tired of the ‘buy-and-throw away’ situation. A clothes swap is a fun, social and totally free activity, where clothes you have gotten tired of or that no longer fit will be new and fun for someone else.
Every spring a ‘Nordic Swap Day’ is arranged in Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Sweden, benefiting people and the environment.
