John Lewis is to buy back worn and unwanted clothing from its customers including underwear and old socks in a UK industry first that aims to reduce the 300,000 tonnes of fashion waste going into landfill each year.

Customers can arrange through an app to have any unwanted clothing that they bought from John Lewis collected from their home, and they will be paid for each item regardless of its condition.

The pilot scheme has been developed with Stuffstr, a social enterprise.

The Guardian
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...

    Does anyone know how to get a quote on what they're offering to take back? Is it per weight or per item and does the condition matter in terms of how much you'd be able to get back? Has anyone tried this yet?
