PRESCA SPORTSWEAR ANNOUNCE NEW RESALE INITIATIVE IN A PLEDGE TO ACHIEVE 1 MILLION CLOTHING REPAIRS
Do you have kit lying around that you will never use again?
Send it to Presca Sportswear for their resale rail, and help promote kit longevity
Presca Sportswear is the world’s first climate positive sportswear brand, with outstanding eco-conscious credentials, initiatives and partnerships that reflect this ethos. The team at Presca are especially passionate about the longevity of sportswear, and have announced that they will be commencing a new kit collecting initiative for any unwanted cycling and running clothing to be sent and sold via their workshop.
All kit gifted will be collected and sold by the Presca team, with 100% of profits set to be reinvested in the Presca workshop, an initiative set up by Presca to achieve 1 million clothing repairs and help negate the current clothing crisis, with 300,000 tonnes of clothing and footwear ending up in landfill each year in the UK (Wrap Report – Love your clothes) and less than 1% of clothes end up being recycled.
As one of the worst industries for the environment, clothing manufacturing contributes up to 10% of all carbon emissions, and 20% of water pollution, so supporting Presca in their rejuvenation of kit is vital to create positive change for our planet.
How can I donate?
Gifted kit* can be sent to the Presca Sportswear workshop, located in the heart of Bristol at Presca, The Workshop, 4 Unity Street, Bristol BS1 5HH. And if you live nearby, why not run or cycle down and drop it off!
*Kit should be in a clean, wearable condition. Contact sarah@prescasportswear.com if you have any questions.
