La Flea, a second-hand clothing exchange and acquisition store. It was established to let the public realize the concept of environmental protection and caring for the Earth. They want to change everyone's idea about second-hand clothes. The only difference between old and new clothes is whether you like them and are happy to wear them or not. Everyone can contribute to environmental protection and carbon reduction and reduce the burdens of the Earth.

Zaigenyuan "Hope Shop" collects second-hand clothes from the enthusiastic public. So those neglected treasures can be given new lives after being carefully sorted out and put on the shelves for sale by disabled youths in sheltered workshops. All the income will be used as incentives, labor health insurance, and labor pensions for disabled youths. So more disabled youths can get opportunities to enter the general workplaces.

The old clothes recycling project is in line with the work of environmental protection and resource reuse. Based on the intention of taking care of disabled people. It improves the working skills of disabled people. Make it play from the society and give back to the society.

This second-hand clothes recycling business has been in the industry for more than ten years. It cooperates with communities, schools, and churches to promote the concept of resources recycling and reuse. They set up the Aiwu Charity Sale area to help more people with disabilities and their families to proceed.

Whenever we walk into UNIQLO (clothing store), we can see the second-hand clothing recycling bin. It turns out that UNIQLO also holds the same belief as us and it is doing its part for the Earth!

Since 2014, UNIQLO has been promoting the public welfare action of clothing recycling and re-donation. Under the love and sharing of the public, the recycled UNIQLO second-hand clothes will be donated to vulnerable families, alone elderly people , schoolchildren, and homeless people in Taiwan, etc. The clothes that are discarded will be converted into aid materials.

UNIQLO second-hand clothing donation has four steps. First, customers can carry clean UNIQLO used clothes to the recycling bin during business hours. Next, UNIQLO employees will select second-hand garments donated by customers to ensure that each garment becomes a valuable item to donate. Next, in order to meet the needs of the receivers. UNIQLO will classify the clothes according to the seasons, sizes, genders, etc., to ensure that the receivers will get the clothes that meet the needs and they have good quality. Finally, by cooperating with non-profit organizations across Taiwan. The clothing is distributed to people who need help throughout Taiwan. So that the clothes can be reborn.

Not only UNIQLO is doing recycling activities for second-hand clothes.

American clothing brand H&M is also doing similar activities. Unlike UNIQLO, H&M divides second-hand clothing into three categories, namely recycling, rewearing, and reusing. Recycling refers to the fact that all other clothes and textiles will be torn into textile fibers for the manufacture of insulation materials and other products; Re-wearing is the sale of wearable clothes as second-hand clothes; if clothes or textiles are not suitable for rewearing, they are reused into other products, such as recycled series or rags.

Both UNIQLO and H&M are doing the same thing, upholding the same belief. We hope to reduce the garbage caused by discarding clothes, and hope that our planet can continue to grow!
