Rethink. Reduce.
ReLove Local.
Our small community donates 2,000 lbs of textiles
to Gabriola Island Recycling Center.
Only half of the donations received are suitable for our ReStore.
This issue is not unique to us.
The fashion industry is the second-largest polluter globally, with textiles representing the fastest-growing waste stream. This is due to its heavy reliance on manufacturing processes that contribute to air and water pollution, and the industry's rapid production of textiles has led to a significant increase in textile waste.
What actions are we taking to address this issue?
