What Can You Bring?
Clothing and accessories (scarves, shawls, gloves and hats). Shoes and underwear will not be accepted. Please remember that the clothes you wish to share should be clean and in good condition! Everyone is welcome to take part in the swap, even if they have nothing to donate. The initiative is cash-free, and donated clothes cannot be returned.
Scavenger Hunt
The clothes swap will be accompanied by a scavenger hunt focused on the circular economy. It will take place on 17 November (Tuesday) at the Faculty of Economics and Sociology. To join, simply scan the QR code located at the faculty鈥檚 main entrances. The winners will receive shopping vouchers for the NaGramy store, so it鈥檚 well worth taking part!
Circular Economy
What exactly is the circular economy? Also known as a circular economic model, it is a system of production, services and resource management whose primary mission is to make responsible use of natural resources and reduce waste. This involves exploring alternatives throughout a product鈥檚 entire life cycle, as well as developing new ways of using and consuming goods. The result? Lower consumption of energy, water and raw materials, along with a significantly reduced negative impact on the environment.
Why are we doing this? Are you aware of how serious a challenge excessive consumption and the aggressive growth of the fast fashion industry have become? Clothing production involves enormous consumption of natural resources, water and energy. Every second, the equivalent of a garbage truck full of textiles is sent to landfill or incinerated worldwide. This amounts to 92 million tonnes annually 鈥� as much as 85% of the textiles purchased in a given year. What鈥檚 more, we now buy an average of 60% more clothes than we did a few decades ago, but wear them for half as long, while only 1% of used clothing is recycled into new garments. Textile and clothing production also has a significant climate impact. According to estimates by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), this sector is responsible for 2鈥�8% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
We often buy clothes on impulse, wear an item just a few times and then simply throw it away, even when it is still in excellent condition. Instead of buying new items, we encourage you to take part in our clothes swap. This way, we can reduce the amount of textile waste sent to landfill and ensure that our clothes continue to be worn.
