Sustainability never felt so good
What's better than knowing your used packaging or clothing will be given a second life? Being rewarded for your efforts! Some retailers in Rundle Mall offer special incentives to encourage the recycling, reuse or upcycling of used items, creating a win-win circular model of sustainability.
Other retailers offer an easy drop-off point for your used items that cannot be placed in your household recycling bin, rewarding you with the knowledge that you're diverting rubbish from Australia's overwhelming amount of landfill.
From 25 February - 15 March, Rundle Mall plays host to the SCRgroup Feel Good Hub, which aims to divert textile waste from landfill and instead give unwanted clothes a sustainable second life in the communities that need them the most.
