United Wardrobe Project: Reducing textile waste by installing permanent donation boxes in schools, promoting circular fashion, and supporting communities

United Wardrobe follows a zero-waste approach by reducing textile waste through a circular donation system, ensuring clothes are reused, repurposed, or upcycled instead of being discarded.

Impact: Collected & donated 9,100+ clothing items, saving 98,000 kg of CO₂ and 33 million liters of water.

Expansion: Now in three Bangkok schools(Wells International, ICS, KIS RP) & one in Hua Hin, two in India, others from Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Myanmar shows interest to join.

Sustainability: Encourages long-term behavior change, making it scalable & replicable in the fight against fashion waste.

Zero Waste Model: Extends garment lifecycles, minimizes landfill waste, and promotes sustainable consumption globally.

This initiative directly contributes to zero-waste goals in fashion by engaging schools & communities worldwide.
