Eco-laundry and drycleaning startup, Oxwash, recently announced a partnership with Thrift+ – a new, online charity donation service for people to pass on their best old clothes. Thrift+ enables super-easy donations via home collection or via Collect+ locations. They not only make it easier to donate items, but they also raise money for charity.
In 2020 Oxwash expanded into two new cities, Cambridge and London. The partnership will mean that customers in these areas can now choose to receive a Thrift+ donation bag alongside their laundry collection to fill up with clothes they no longer need. The full bag will be collected by Oxwash on delivery and then sent to Thrift+.
The two companies share core values around sustainability and the circular economy. Both enterprises are tech-focused and intend to play a leading role in reducing the presence of fast fashion and encouraging sustainable fashion. This partnership announcement comes shortly after the announcement of Oxwash’s partnership with HURR – sustainable fashion rental platform. Oxwash CEO and co-founder Kyle Grant explained that the two companies are partnering to extend the availability of solutions that combat clothes being sent to landfill that could be reused.
Oxwash’s focus on innovation and sustainability was awarded at GBPAP2020 with the Overall Best Practices Trophy for RTC-B Category. More info, on this article (link – here).
