Q. Do you have recycling or repair services for UNIQLO items?
Whilst repair and embroidery services or a RE.UNIQLO Studio is not available in Australia at this stage, we do offer the UNIQLO Recycle program to give a new life for UNIQLO Clothing.
Our recycling program works to RECYCLE, REUSE, and REDUCE by extending the lifespan of each garment, by using as raw materials or recycled into materials for new clothing and energy sources. Rather than disposing of clothing, recycling helps reduce the need to produce new materials.
The All-Product Recycling Initiative is a key activity being implemented by UNIQLO globally. When we first started this initiative in 2006, we thought that we would recycle the donated clothing as material for the textile industry. However, most of the items we were receiving from our customers were still very wearable. Wanting to extend their lives as “clothes”, we also began sending them to people in need of clothing around the world. In line with our sustainability vision of Making the World a Better Place, we continue to challenge ourselves in seeking ways to make a difference.
