ABOUT

Fast fashion is bad. Its waste is bad. Overwhelming our environment with excess fabric is bad. Our op shops are overflowing with unwanted donations - and only 20% is good enough quality to be sold. But nobody’s doing enough to combat this issue.

Energy inefficiency is bad. Our electricity and forestry industries do so much to keep on top of demand for NZ heating. And it isn’t even being utilised. Up to 25% of winter heat loss from NZ homes is caused by draughts. These draughts allow valuable heat created by valuable energy to just float away.

Warmth Without Waste aims to solve two problems at once - energy inefficiency in home heating and wasted clothing - by creating draught stoppers from unwanted clothing at op shops.
