As we join millions around the globe in observing Zero Waste Week from September 2-6, Neem London is proud to reaffirm our ongoing commitment to reducing waste and promoting low-emission living. This week is a powerful reminder to reflect on our impact on the planet and to make conscious choices that contribute to a more sustainable future. Our 'Wear Well' initiative is one way we make it easy for you to participate in the circular economy and help reduce waste. But what exactly is Zero Waste Week, and why is it so important?
What is Zero Waste Week?
Zero Waste Week is an annual campaign designed to encourage individuals,
businesses, and communities to minimise waste by adopting sustainable practices. Founded in 2008, this grassroots initiative takes place during the first week of September each year. The goal of Zero Waste Week is simple: reduce the amount of
waste sent to landfills, lower our environmental footprint, and contribute to a healthier planet. The campaign aims to raise awareness about waste reduction and inspire people to rethink their consumption habits.
How Can You Participate in Zero Waste Week?
With the seasons changing and days getting shorter, now is the perfect time to
declutter your wardrobe and recycle clothes that are outdated or no longer fit. At
Neem, we offer a unique way for you to participate in Zero Waste Week and
contribute to the solution:
1. Purchase a Wear Well Bag
Start by purchasing one of our Wear Well bags, and
you'll receive a £30 discount code to use on any Neem London order over £100. We will send you a compostable return bag along with an instruction brochure.
2. Pack Up Your Old Clothes
Use the compostable bag provided to pack up the old
clothes you wish to recycle. Attach the printed return label included with your Wear Well bag.
3. Send It Back to Us
Drop your package off at the post office and ship it back to us.
We will take care of the rest!
We sort through the clothes you send back and recycle what can be reused. We
break down the fibres from the old garments to create new fabric for our new shirts.
Hints on why you may have heard our infamous tagline: "We make new shirts from old shirts."
Using a Wear Well bag is a great way to refresh your wardrobe while also helping the environment by reducing landfill waste. This Zero Waste Week, why not commit to doing something a little better than you did last year? Joining our Wear Well initiative is an easy and impactful step towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
Join us in celebrating Zero Waste Week and take action to make a real difference.
Together, let's work towards a future with less waste
