This tax on “fast fashion” is such a load of nonsense. 1p per garment won’t achieve anything. That won’t stop them though. It’s only a matter of time before they’ll be taxing us £10 or £20 a garment - and who gets to decide how many clothes we’re allowed to buy anyway?https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1140940500645613568 …

If it means more availability of clothes recycling programmes in places where people shop, the greater convenience of simply trading in old clothes next time you go shopping might encourage people to recycle more :)

How do you know this? Especially re recycling levels?

JHB doesn't have any way of knowing but just doesn't like the idea so seems to be making negative assumptions

Investing £35m in clothes recycling facilities won't make any difference to clothes recycling? That sounds like a well-considered opinion

It wouldn't surprise me if it was like fuel. They put 1p on every item, the government take a percentage of that. So eventually your 35m becomes 23m. They'll setup a few more clothes recycling centres and that'll be it.

Yes it will because it becomes the rhetoric. We put 5p on a plastic bag and told people to bring their own. It’s happening. It will happen in the clothing industry. It’s not difficult when there is a climate crisis to think outside the box. Only for you.
