Why recycling? - Most of used clothes are not recycled and simply become "garbage". The disposal cost of those "garbage" is a part of tax expenses, which implies that we (the tax payers) indirectly bear such cost!
Nowadays a large proportion of clothes are made of chemical mixed fiber, therefore, it is very difficult for many local governments to incinerate them. Most are buried in the ground instead.
Orange Thrifty has been tackling such problems in a positive way to contribute to society. You may read the article about fabrics recycling in newspaper in this website.

We started the charity activity in cooperation with "Shimin Kikin Kobe" in 2004 and sum total of over 40 tons of used clothes have been donated (as of April 2007). We select items which can be sold at our stores or exported overseas. That is how we make best use of the donated items.
In addition, we have just cooperated with "Animal Refuge Kansai" to be of assistance to the activity of rescuing animals.
Your donations will be a great help to support the activities.
