About us
Who we are
TRAID is a charity working to stop clothes from being thrown away. We turn clothes waste into funds and resources to reduce the environmental and social impacts of our clothes. It is a circular and sustainable approach to the problems of clothes waste tackling disposal, production and consumption by:-
- - Increasing clothes reuse across the UK reducing waste, carbon emissions and consumption
- - Funding international development projects to improve conditions and working practices in the textile industry
- - Educating people of all ages about the impacts of textiles on the environment and people’s lives, and how we can make more sustainable choices
The funds we raise in our shops from stopping clothes from being thrown away are committed to global projects improving conditions and working practices in the textile industry.
