I wanted to share with you what happens with the rare items that cannot be reused, repaired or recycled. So here is some of what we have been testing out behind the scenes. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Tutu dresses and skirts that are past their best-by date can\u2019t be recycled. So they are sent to local Playcentres for dress-up boxes and craft activities. We have also provided some to the awesome Re-Creators for a repurposing workshop. <\/span><\/p>\n ECE \/kindergartens please reach out if you’re keen to join the waiting list.<\/p>\n <\/span> Additional togs are being sent to a local swim school, who donate them to children going without swimming gear in their school coaching sessions. So far we thanks to our community we have donated 120 pieces. One item we are working on is sequins (these have to be taken off clothes before they can be recycled). Any ideas on these, we are all ears.<\/span><\/p>\n Always a work in progress\u00a0<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Footer Section” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ background_color=”#662D91″ min_height=”510.9px” custom_margin=”-5px||-73px|||” custom_padding=”6px|0px|0px|0px||” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Footer Row” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ custom_margin=”2px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”||4px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_blurb image=”https:\/\/wordpress.ripplemovement.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Ripple-Logo_03.png” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”78.2px” custom_margin=”-30px||-80px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” animation=”off” global_module=”315″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text admin_label=”Links” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ text_font=”Open Sans|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#ffffff” text_line_height=”1.4em” link_font=”Open Sans|600|||||||” link_text_color=”#ffffff” link_line_height=”2.5em” header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#662D91″ header_2_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”||||||||” header_6_font=”Oswald|500||on|||||” header_6_text_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.4)” header_6_letter_spacing=”2px” header_6_line_height=”1.7em” background_layout=”dark” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|||” custom_margin_tablet=”0px|||” custom_margin_phone=”|||” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” text_line_height_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/span>hello@ripplemovement.co.nz<\/h4>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_social_media_follow _builder_version=”4.24.2″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”0px|20px||0px|false|false” custom_padding=”|||” mix_blend_mode=”multiply” global_module=”313″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”facebook” url=”http:\/\/facebook.com\/NZRippleMovement” icon_color=”#662D91″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”25px” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” background_enable_color=”on” custom_button=”on” button_border_radius=”0px” positioning=”relative” vertical_offset=”-1px” horizontal_offset=”4px” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]facebook[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”linkedin” url=”https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/nzripplemovement” icon_color=”#662d91″ _builder_version=”4.21.2″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” background_enable_color=”on” custom_margin=”|5px||20px|false|false” custom_padding=”12px|12px|12px|12px” border_radii=”on|100px|100px|100px|100px” global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]linkedin[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”pinterest” url=”https:\/\/pin.it\/2kUzzLeas” icon_color=”#662d91″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”25px” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” background_enable_color=”on” positioning=”relative” horizontal_offset=”9px” z_index=”36″ global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]pinterest[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][\/et_pb_social_media_follow][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Email Subscribe” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ custom_css_free_form=”.contact_field {|| text-indent: 2mm;|| font-size: 16px;|| margin: 15px;|| height: 40px;|| width:250px;||}||::placeholder{|| color: grey;||}||.et_pb_button {|| color: white;|| border-radius: 26px;||}” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
