UK home furnishing retailer and Salvation Army partner to recycle textiles
Dunelm, a UK home furnishing retailer, is collaborating with The Salvation Army to launch an online textile takeback scheme to promote the circular economy and reduce emissions. The initiative allows customers to generate a free shipping label on Dunelm’s website, choose a courier, and drop off used home textiles, including bedding, cushions, throws, blankets, and clothing for resale or recycling. The initiative reduces the need for new raw materials and minimizes waste by keeping materials in use through design, repair, reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling. This effort complements Dunelm’s existing store-based textile takeback program, which collects around 100 tons of textiles monthly from 175 stores. Read more about Dunelm’s textile recycling program.
