H&M’s World Recycle Week: Recycle Your Clothes & Receive Discount Voucher | April 18-24

As part of H&M’s goal to close the loop in fashion, recycling unwanted garments to create recycled textile fibers for new products, the brand will be running a global campaign “World Recycle Week” with a collaboration with Southeast Asia’s leading ride-hailing platform, Grab, from April 18-24, 2016. H&M aims to collect 1,000 tonnes of unwanted or worn out garments from customers worldwide in more than 3,600 stores during the campaign period.

The H&M Garment Collecting initiative was launched in 2013. During World Recycle Week, for every bag of unwanted textiles donated in any H&M store, customers will receive 2 vouchers worth 15% off one item. For every kilogram collected, 2 euro cents will be donated to UNICEF Malaysia.

London based artist M.I.A. is the front figure of H&M’s World Recycle Week initiative, and is featured in a video inspiring customers to recycle their old or unwanted clothes. With her personal style, interest for sustainability and passion for the environment, M.I.A. personifies the conscious consumer with a social awareness.

“World Recycle Week is about embracing important environmental issues such as the landfills, and highlighting a global movement,” says M.I.A.

To raise awareness M.I.A. wrote the song ‘Rewear it’ exclusively for H&M and the World Recycle Week campaign. H&M has worked closely with choreographer Aaron Sillis to interpret M.I.A.’s music and lyrics into dance moves for the campaign’s video.
