How is Wing Tai Retail collaborating with World Wide Fund For Nature Singapore?

What happens to the clothes after we donate them?
We are collaborating with Greensquare to keep textile in closed recycling loop. The garment collected will be sorted into different types and categories. The 2 main categories are:
1. Reuse:
– Good quality recyclables are sold to second-hand textiles importers (e.g. thrift shops, 2nd-hand market) in the developing countries so as to enable the less fortunate population to be able to purchase clothes, shoes, etc at an affordable price.
2. Recycle:
– Garments that cannot be reuse will be recycled and sold as industrial cleaning cloth (e.g. for automobile, shipyard, etc) depending on the material of the textiles. The usage is for cleaning lubricants.
