Did you know New Zealand discards between 180,000 to 220,000 tonnes of clothing every year?That’s enough fabric waste to fill dozens of rugby fields every single year. Most of this ends up in landfills, contributing to one of the biggest environmental issues of our time: fast fashion waste.
At ScrapNap, we’re not just observing the problem we're doing something about it. Our mission is to combat fabric waste in Aotearoa by inspiring conscious consumerism, promoting sustainable fashion choices, and providing creative, practical alternatives to sending textiles to landfill.
