Transforming the way we choose, enjoy and recycle clothing in Australia to address clothing waste.
Let's collaborate to create a better future
Last year, Australians added more clothing to their wardrobes than ever before, most of which was made from materials that weren't sustainable or durable. There is no organised system to collect clothing that can no longer be worn and there are limited facilities to recycle and reuse clothing, which means thousands of tonnes ends up in landfill.
1.5 billion
new items of clothing were sold in Australia last year
55 items
is the average number of new garments every Australian bought
220,000 t
of clothing ended up in Australian landfill last year
Our roadmap for enduring impact
Seamless is on a mission to achieve a circular clothing economy in Australia by 2030. Achieving this means rethinking how we design, enjoy and recirculate our clothes to drastically reduce landfill.
Seamless is Australia’s national clothing stewardship scheme which recognises that brands are responsible for the full lifecycle of their clothing - from designing better, to ensuring we can enjoy clothes for longer, reuse them more and recycle widely.
Supported by leading Australian brands
Applications to the Seamless Circular Clothing Textiles Fund are now open
The Fund is a competitive initiative led by Seamless to invest in practical projects across Australia that collect, sort and recycle unwearable clothes and explore ‘next market’ uses for them. The projects will deliver the evidence to scale our national scheme.
