M&S and Oxfam aim to launch the biggest clothes recycling campaign in the UK.  People who drop their M&S clothes into Oxfam shops nationwide will receive a £5 for each item they donate to the charity.  This voucher can in turn be used in any M&S store when spending over £35.

The scheme benefits everyone — Oxfam gets more donations and more income from selling those donations, customers get money off new clothes and an incentive to clean out their wardrobe, and M&S can encourage customers to trade in their old clothes for new and fulfill part of its Plan A scheme to go green.

The project starts on the 28^th January.
