- British consumers buy 2.15 million tonnes of new clothing, shoes and accessories every year.
- They throw away more than 900,000 million items per year.
- TRAID operates a network of 850 textile recycling banks across the country.
- In 2006, the charity -- which has shops in London and Brighton -- re-used 3,500 tonnes of unwanted clothing and shoes.
- It donated funds to projects in the Philippines, Madagascar and Uganda and facilitated educational workshops with 6,000 primary and secondary school pupils in London.
