AISHK is once again participating in Redress Month, a month‑long campaign to break the cycle of fashion waste that comes at a huge cost to our environment.
Get Redressed Month 2026 encourages Hong Kongers to act against clothing waste by developing better habits around how we care for, wear, and share our clothes. By joining hands with schools, companies, and the public, we can give clothes a new life.
We are inviting all to donate good‑quality, re‑wearable clothing to Redress, a Hong Kong‑based NGO whose mission is to reduce the negative environmental impacts of fashion.
Clothing Donations
Donations can be placed in the large yellow and orange Redress boxes around the school
Collection runs until the end of May
All donated items will be sorted and redistributed to charities, resale, or reuse partners
Why This Matters – Facts & Stats
Over 400 tonnes of textiles are sent to landfill every day in Hong Kong — equal to 17,000+ suitcases of clothing thrown away daily
Most clothing is worn less than 10 times before being discarded
Simple Things You Can Do
Buy less, choose better: Buy clothes you really like and will wear often
Try second‑hand: Thrift shops and swaps are fun, cheaper, and sustainable
Fix it: Repair small holes or tears instead of throwing clothes away
Swap with friends: Share or exchange clothes you no longer wear
Donate responsibly: Give away clothes that are clean and wearable
Borrow or rent: Great for special events or costumes
Encourage: Motivate your friends and family to do the same!
Thank you for supporting Redress Month 2026 and helping reduce clothing waste in our community!
