3. ECOHOOLAH
If you love shopping for clothes, you would have experienced the issue of not having enough space in your wardrobe at least once in your life. But instead of cutting back on clothes shopping, many of us tend to throw our old clothes away and continue to buy new ones. We know it’s a bad habit, but we just can’t help it!
Well, hoolah might have the solution to our problem. hoolah has recently collaborated with fashion retailers Pomelo and iORA to reward shoppers for recycling their old clothes and accessories. That’s right, you’re now getting paid to get rid of your clothes and buy new ones. This opportunity doesn’t come twice, and we’re certainly seizing it!
This initiative was launched to celebrate Earth Day and if you would like to show your support and get some new clothes at the same time, take this chance to gather all your unused clothing and recycle them at the hoolah eco bins at selected iORA and Pomelo outlets.
