On July 29th, ÖKO Essentials will be partnering with the Textile and Fashion Federation (TaFF) for a special event called the Be the Change campaign.

The Textile and Fashion Federation (TaFF) is an organization that works with the Singapore government to encourage sustainable fashion. Together with other sustainable businesses, TaFF works to improve the environmental impact of manufacturers and consumers in Singapore.
From July 6th to August 18th, 2022, TaFF is presenting the Be the Change campaign. Be the Change is an educational opportunity for consumers to learn about sustainable businesses and products as well as have a location to donate their used clothing. The campaign will host multiple events, including an in-person event at the Design Orchard on July 29th.
The take-back campaign is an important opportunity to educate consumers about sustainability. Fast fashion is a growing issue and leads to significant waste. Every year in Singapore, clothing waste accounts for over 137,000 tonnes of waste.
This waste, combined with other consumer waste, such as water waste produced by using non-environmentally cleaning products, has a huge negative impact on the environment. If consumers switch to sustainable practices, water waste, carbon emissions, and waste in landfills will be reduced. It’s important to invest in sustainable fashion and sustainable products that are made to help the environment, not harm it.
Other than donating your clothes and attending the Be the Change event, there are other ways that you can help the environment, including:
