Addressing clothing waste by transforming the way we choose, enjoy and recycle clothing in Australia.
Let's come together to create a better future
Every year, Australians are buying more and more clothing, most of which is made from materials that aren't sustainable or durable. There isn't an organised system to collect unwearable clothing and there are limited facilities to recycle clothing, which means thousands of tonnes ends up in landfill.

Our roadmap for
enduring impact
Australia has a vision and commitment to transition to a circular economy by 2030 and Net Zero by 2050. To do this, and significantly reduce the 200,000 tonnes of clothing that goes to Australian landfill each year, we need to come together to completely reimagine how we design, produce, enjoy and recycle our clothes.
Supported by leading Australian brands
Reimagine how we choose, enjoy and recycle our clothes
Seamless is a clothing stewardship scheme for Australia which recognises that the brands who make or import our clothes are responsible for their entire lifespan. It’s funded by a levy paid by fashion and clothing brands, which is used to transform the way clothes are designed, promote repair and rental services, expand recycling facilities and encourage all Australians to think differently about their clothes.
