Textiles no longer suitable to wear are converted into product such as cleaning cloths.Recycle
Textiles that can't be reused are recycled into textile fibres or used to manufacture products such as insulation materials.Reward
For each bag of used textiles they'll give you a discount voucher. Mine was 15% off your next item. It may vary for different places or countries. If you don't need it, why not pass it on. It's a chance to brighten the day of a random shopper.What to do
Up the back of the shop, look for a recycle station like this one.To get your voucher, talk to a staff member first. For more information see H&M Recycle your clothes or their partner Ico-spirit.
