Learn about slow fashion

Every 10 minutes, Australians dump 15 tonnes of clothing and fabric waste. That adds up to 800,000 tonnes, or 31 kilograms per person, every year. By learning more about slow fashion, you can contribute to the solution by raising your own awareness and others. Together we can take action to help reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill each year.
