Cloop

Linkedin write up Cloop is a circular fashion social enterprise focused on reducing fashion overconsumption and waste in Singapore by helping consumers close the textile loop. We primarily provide solutions for preloved apparel/textiles and sustainable shopping alternatives such as Fashion Swap!, Open Wardrobe (honor-system thrift store), and Curated Bag (personal shopping in a bag). Together with an ISO-accredited textile recycling partner, Life Line Clothing, Cloop hopes to double the textile/leather recycling rate by introducing proper textile recycling bins across Singapore. Since the first bin launched in July 2022, there have been more than 450 iconic yellow bins nationwide. The public can donate their preloved clothes, bags, shoes, accessories, caps/hats, belts, and household items such as toys, pillows, and linens in any clean and dry condition (new/used) at any Cloop bin near them: msha.ke/cloop#links for international circulations. For local circulations, donate to the white collection box at the Cloop HQ or directly to their Sorting Facility. Detail here: cloop.sg/donate. Fashion donations received through the Cloop collection boxes (white) went through a Cloop Cycle and are lovingly curated for swap/resale, repair, or repurposed, while appropriate items are blessed to organisations and collectives with specific needs. Cloop aims to become a go-to resource hub for circular fashion where fashion lovers can donate, swap, shop secondhand apparel/textiles, and learn to repair, repurpose, and upcycle before recycling responsibly with their trusted partners. Together, we can close the loop for fashion for good.
