Recyclability

Having a more sustainable wardrobe maybe more of a thing now, but here at SaveMart we are proud with the fact that we have been recycling for over 50 years. As for the years ahead, it will be even more important than ever for all of us to put more thought into how we can reduce demand on the planets precious resources by consuming less or more practically, consuming more recyclables.

Thankfully here at SaveMart you don't have to go far to sort out your fashion needs in a sustainable way.

You should gladly know that thousands of clothing items are being sorted daily for recycling nationally here in New Zealand with only the best quality is sent to SaveMart. Wearable clothing not suitable to be sold locally here in NZ is exported to Papua New Guinea as secondhand clothing where it is warmly received.

Here are some simple things we can all do to help with our sustainable wardrobe,

REDUCE  unwanted items from landfill by buying more easily recyclable materials such as 100% cotton, linen and woollen garments.

REUSE     preloved clothing by purchasing secondhand items to complement your own wardrobe.

RECYCLE     your unwanted good quality garments by placing them in a clothing bin for someone else to choose to love again. 

By purchasing secondhand items, it helps us all to recognise the advantages of recycling and learning what products can be repurposed.  Most importantly, of all the items, garments and gadgets we might consume in a given year, what of those has an affordable recyclability, reducing its impact on the environment around us, that we all depend upon greatly. Shopping at SaveMart is just one positive decision you can make in getting things right in today's stressed world.
