Worn Up are an Aussie organisation that turns old uniforms back into usable raw materials, which they can then use to reform into things like dog beds and school desks.
They’re actually a spin-off of their other brand called Sustainable Schoolwear, who sells ethically made, climate-conscious school uniforms and accessories. They wanted to start taking back the uniforms they made to avoid them ending up in landfill, so they started Worn Up.
