ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS HOME / ABOUT US / ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS HOW THE MONEY HELPS ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS OUR HISTORY: SHOPS & RECYCLING ABOUT THE SALVATION ARMY FIND OUT WHAT ELSE WE DO Textiles are the UK’s fastest growing household waste stream. By reusing and recycling textiles we can greatly reduce the amount we send to landfill and give unwanted items a new lease of life. As we work to a target of zero waste, less than 1% of what we collect through our clothing collection initiatives in the UK is sent to landfill while the other 99% is reused or recycled. To help achieve our goal, we are a key stakeholder and steering group member of the Sustainable Clothing Action Plan (SCAP) as well as a signatory of the SCAP 2020 Commitment, which is a voluntary initiative that aims to improve environmental and ethical performance.
