Redonate Workshop: Up-cycle your Wardrobe!

UM Sustainability Week presents:
-

Did you know that about 5.8 million tonnes of textiles are thrown away every year in the EU and only a quarter of them are actually recycled? The aim of this workshop is to raise awareness for the waste problem in the fashion industry and to show how recycling can be integrated. On top of that, you can up-cycle and tie-dye a shirt yourself which you can take home after the workshop. Therefore, you will pay whatever you wish between €5 and €15 per shirt.

All available colours and materials are provided for free. Of course, you can buy and up-cycle as many as you like.
The workshop is in collaboration with the Redonate Foundation and UNICEF, and all proceeds will be donated. On site you will have the opportunity to talk to the representatives of the organisations and learn more about what they do and where the money goes.
Does this sound interesting to you? Then register now for our workshop and bring some colour into your life! We look forward to seeing you there!
