Three Councils Unite for Slow Fashion September | Auckland News

Three Waikato councils are teaming up for Slow Fashion September to slash textile waste—over 1,300 tonnes dumped yearly—and inspire locals to repair, reuse, and repurpose clothes. This first-ever joint campaign builds on each council’s past efforts: Waipā’s five-year initiative, Hamilton’s Thrifty Threads pop-up shop (which diverted 24,000kg of clothing and raised $28,000 for hospice last year), and shared goals to reduce landfill waste. Across September, events like thrift store tours, sewing workshops, and a sustainable fashion show will empower residents to make eco-friendly swaps—all funded by the government’s waste levy.
