Take on the 100% Textile Challenge:
Avoid plastic bags!
The goal is simple and inspiring: to collect as many clothes, bedding, shoes, and small toys as possible—without using plastic bags!
How do you participate?
Children, parents, and grandparents bring their donations in a reusable bundle.
Zero waste tip:
- Turn an old pillowcase, sheet, or pair of jeans into a bundle.
- Use a paper bag or a reusable bag.
Please avoid cardboard boxes, as they take up too much space in the truck.
Why is this important?
- Each bag collected helps the school/childcare center fund specific projects.
- Every bundle you fill is a powerful action for the planet: less waste, more reuse.
- Children learn to reduce their consumption, understand where textiles come from, and give clothes a second lease on life.
Together, we make a difference
By participating in the 100% Textile Challenge, you show your children that every action counts. They will become ambassadors for recycling and solidarity.

Special grant – 10th anniversary of the Super Recyclers
To mark our 10th anniversary (school year 2025–26), we are offering schools and childcare centers the opportunity to receive an additional $100 grant during their fundraising campaign.
To be eligible for this bonus donation, you must:
- Collect over 500 kg of clothing.
- Organize a plastic-free clothing drive (use reusable bundles or bags).
If these two conditions are not met, the special $100 grant cannot be added to the amount awarded for your clothing drive.
Congratulations!
Several schools distinguished themselves through their additional environmental engagement.
