Can cotton really make a difference in someone’s life? It can. With your help. Through the Cotton Lives On™ programme, we divert old cottons away from landfill and transform it into new things like recycled denim pads for roll mat mattresses. Then the magic really happens… The roll mats made from old cottons given to the Cotton Lives On™ programme are then provided to various charities, including Shelter. Shelter fights to end the devastating impact the housing emergency has on people and communities. We’re privileged to work closely with Shelter and help make a difference to people's lives. Having something comfortable to sleep on can have an incredible impact on someone’s life. Through the Cotton Lives On™ recycling programme we’re determined to keep helping people and the planet, one waste cotton garment and offcut at a time. Be part of something meaningful. - Pop us a message and see how easy it is to get started on https://lnkd.in/eU6vccJc - Now imagine how your old cottons can make a difference.
