Our Sustainability Promise
Each year at Playful Promises, we aim to become a greener, more sustainable brand.
We have an ongoing commitment to reduce our impact on the planet, from the way we manufacture to the way we package and ship our treats to you.
All of us at some stage have been guilty of letting clothes go to waste. Whether it’s never been worn or worn to death, there’s plenty of options to get the most out of your clothing or throw it away ethically.
Just chucking it in the bin won’t cut it, as millions of clothing articles end up in landfill and creates a strain on our environment. So, what can be done?
| Take it to a charity shop | Bring it to the high street |
| This is best for clothing in a rewearable condition. You can donate your clothes to a charity shop and help generate money for a good cause | Several high street stores offer incentives if you recycle clothes in-store. For example, H&M will give you a £5 voucher as a thank you |
| Re-Sell it | Swishing |
| You can easily snap a picture of your unwanted item and upload it to Depop, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace to make a little money! This way, your clothes get to be loved again. | Swishing is when you throw a clothes-swapping party. Invite your friends over for a few drinks, asking them to bring over some unwanted clothing. |
| Textile Banks | Upcycle! |
| You can donate all sorts of clothing to textile banks, even those which are unwearable. They can upcycle them or recycle them. | If you have a basic knowledge of sewing, you can upcycle your old clothes! You can mend any defects, or create a completely new garment. If you aren’t much of a seamtress, you can take your items to a local tailor |
