M&S To Re-Introduce Clothes Recycling Scheme, Shwopping

UK retailer Marks & Spencer has announced plans to re-introduce its clothes recycling scheme, Shwopping, in partnership with Oxfam, starting 1 October.

The recycling scheme was paused temporarily in March of this year to enable the retailer to focus on implementing health and safety measures due to the pandemic.

Since the launch of Shwopping in 2008, the retailer has raised nearly £23 million from the sales of donated items to help people living in extreme poverty.

Customers can donate unwanted clothes, shoes, bras and accessories of any brand or condition in nearly 290 M&S stores.
