100% Textile Challenge

MORE PLANET, LESS PLASTIC

The Super Recyclers’ 100% Textile Challenge

The objective of the 100% Textile Challenge is to raise awareness among elementary school students and their families to collect clothing without using plastic bags, while organizing a drive to gather clothing, bedding, shoes and small toys in order to reuse or recycle them.

Students bring back everything sorted into a bundle. We suggest using old pillowcases, jeans or sheets to make a bundle, or reusable paper bags for leaves. DON’T USE CARDBOARD BOXES IF POSSIBLE.

On top of receiving a sum of money based on the weight collected, which will help finance a project for the school, the students are making a wonderful contribution to the environment. Recycling is part of our lifestyle. Students will be able to discuss with their teacher the importance of reducing their consumption and will learn where textiles come from and they will know a little more about the process of giving a garment a second life. Teachers can find additional educational resources through the Super Recyclers Club.

Let’s take care of our planet together—every little bit helps!

Please note that for the 2024-25 school year, there will be no additional reward for successfully completing the challenge, as we prepare to celebrate our 10th anniversary in 2025-26.

CONGRATULATIONS!

We also wish to highlight certain clothing drives from last season. Many schools have distinguished themselves by their additional environmental engagement.
