Ethical Processes

One million tonnes of textiles are thrown away every year, which is the same weight as around 226 thousand elephants; however recent Government figures suggest the figure could be even higher. The average lifetime of a new garment is about three years between being bought and being discarded.

A large proportion of post-consumer waste clothing is collected by charities like Oxfam. Unsold or un-wearable clothing from Oxfam’s charity shops is sent to their reprocessing facility, Oxfam's Wastesaver. The majority of these clothes are then sold abroad. amoosi carefully hand select high quality textiles which would otherwise have been sold for industrial use or for fibre reclamation.
