• The initiative involves social enterprise Cloop, which collects unwanted clothes through its textile recycling bins before sending them to Life Line Clothing in Port Klang, Malaysia.
• The volume being shipped is now twice what it was two years ago, highlighting both the growing scale of the operation and the enormous challenge of managing textile waste.
