engage your staff
make an impact
Tackle hardship, waste and lower carbon emissions right from your workplace. Your team can make a real impact and we’ll provide the stats to prove it.
How it works?
We set up a temporary or ongoing collection station where employees can drop off unwanted or outgrown children’s clothing. We accept all kids’ clothes, in any condition with the host organisation covering the cost of processing each bin.
Why host a Ripple Gear Drive?
Beyond making a difference, your organisation will receive an impact report detailing:
💦 Total items donated
💦 How many were reused in Gear Box clothing parcels
💦 What was repaired, repurposed, or recycled
💦 KGs of greenhouse gases prevented
💦 You’ll also receive digital content to showcase your impact.
A Gear Drive is an easy, meaningful way to engage employees in a sustainability initiative that delivers tangible results.
Go Fully Circular!
Ask us about how your Gear Drive can go fully circular and see your old clothes made into new products.
Or Sponsor a Ripple Community Bin
Show your commitment to sustainability beyond the workplace by sponsoring a co-branded Community Bin—helping your brand make an impact at scale.

kids can make a difference
Our school Gear Drives are an awesome opportunity to engage kids in our mission.
We will provide all the information you need for your newsletter or app to inform parents of the upcoming collection. This will include a unique school link to our website, where parents can order and pay for a collection bag (each bag can take up to 8kg).
We will arrange a convenient drop off and collection day. Once the collection is complete you can share your impact with the school community.
