This Halloween why buy new, when you can swap for a different Halloween Costume swap in Acton at the Acton Market on 25th October from 3.30pm to 5pm.
Don’t leave your Halloween costume to rot
With 2 in 5 Halloween costumes only being worn once before they’re thrown away, according to Hubbub, and a lot of them being made from plastic, the cost of looking spooky is scarily on the rise! Every year almost 7 million Halloween costumes are thrown away this equals to around 2,000 tonnes of plastic waste. 🎃 The majority of Halloween outfits are made from polyester, an oil-based plastic and most people then chuck out used costumes after single use !! 👻 Landfill is literally full of scary apparel after Halloween! So lets save these costumes from landfill by donating them to us and swapping for a different outfit this year.
Join us as the Halloween Costume Swap
Join us on Friday 25th October for Halloween Costume swap at Acton Market from 3.30pm to 5pm and find something spooky to wear! For more events on how we can reduce our waste. One costume per person, while stocks last.
