Customising your jeans is an awesome, low-key way to be kind to the world because extending the average life of clothes by just three months of active use per item would lead to a 5-10% reduction in each of the carbon, water and waste footprints.

An estimated £140 million worth (350,000 tonnes) of used clothing goes to landfill in the UK every year.

For every tonne of cotton t-shirts re-used, 12 tons of CO2 are saved – compared to less than 1 ton of CO2 saved by recycling the same quantity.

And if you’re clothes are beyond a little customization to upcycle them, recycle them at Monki! Helps reduce landfill, plus you’ll get 10% off your next purchase. Nice.
