Traid - Chelmsford - CM1 7SG

Traid (Textile Reuse and International Development) is a UK-based charity that focuses on reducing clothing waste and supporting sustainable development. They collect unwanted clothing donations through dedicated Traid bins, doorstep collections, and partnerships with retailers. These clothes are then sorted, and high-quality items are sold in Traid’s charity shops, with the proceeds funding global development projects that tackle poverty and improve working conditions in the textile industry. Unsellable clothing is either upcycled or recycled, ensuring minimal waste. Traid also educates the public about the environmental and social impacts of the fashion industry, promoting more sustainable consumption habits.
