Sustainability & Environmental Impact
Reduce Waste, Save Resources
Each year, thousands of old school uniforms end up in landfill, contributing to textile waste that takes years to decompose. By selling and buying second-hand school uniforms on Rethread, you're conciously choosing to reduce landfill.
Lower Your Carbon Footprint
When you opt for second-hand uniforms, you help lower the demand for new production, reducing the carbon emissions associated with manufacturing, shipping, and packaging. Every used school uniform listed on Rethread helps reduce waste.
Support Circular Economy
This simple act of recycling old school uniform pieces reduces the environmental strain caused by fast fashion and promotes a culture of conscious consumption.
Help Families and the Planet
When you sell a uniform, you’re giving another child the chance to attend school in affordable, quality clothing—helping parents save money while supporting a sustainable school shop movement.
Australia sends on average 2,000 tones of uniform to landfill each year.
Reusing uniforms helps conserve the resources needed to produce new garments—like water, energy, and raw materials.

As a single dad raising three energetic kids, I’m always on the lookout for ways to save money. Rethread has been a game-changer for me. School uniforms in Australia are not cheap, and with my kids constantly growing, I felt like I was throwing money down the drain each term.

My daughter just started prep this year, and I was shocked at how expensive school uniforms are. A friend recommended this platform, and I’m so glad they did. We picked up almost everything she needed—dress, hat, shoes—for less than $100 total.

With four kids across three different schools, uniform costs used to be a nightmare. This platform has been a lifesaver for our family. I love how easy it is to find items by school and size. The photos and descriptions are usually spot on, and sellers have been really lovely.

As someone involved in our school’s PTA, I’ve seen first-hand how hard it can be for families to afford uniforms, especially after growth spurts or changing schools. This platform solves a real problem. I started listing leftover uniforms from our school’s lost property box and was amazed at how quickly they found homes.
Rachel Kim
PTA Volunteer, Melbourne
This platform ticks all the boxes—affordable, practical, and sustainable. As someone who’s trying to live a lower-waste lifestyle, I was so excited to discover this second-hand uniform marketplace.
Natalie Burns
Eco-conscious parent
I absolutely love this platform! I used to dread buying school uniforms every year because it would cost a small fortune, especially with both of my kids in different schools. But now, I can find everything from shirts to skirts at half the price—or less!

Being on a single income with two school-aged children, every dollar counts. This platform has allowed us to cut uniform costs dramatically while still getting what we need.
