Rewear, Repair, Recycle and Resale.

Another life. beauty is our initiative that helps customers to recycle their beauty empties. We offer this to our customers in store via our partners, HANDLE. Packaging is one of the biggest sustainability challenges facing the beauty industry; 120 billion units of packaging are produced globally every year, however, recycling rate estimates range from 9-50%.

With your old packaging, HANDLE creates staple accessories such as hairbrushes, combs, mirrors and more. You can donate empty beauty bottles, jars, lids and tubes.

Another life. is our initiative that helps customers to rehome and repurpose their pre-loved clothes and textiles. We offer this to our customers in store and online via our partners, Oxfam, Reskinned and eBay.

When you bring your pre-loved clothing of any brand into stores, you will receive a £5 off £35 online Fashion, Home and Beauty discount code for any takebacks that include at least one item of M&S clothing*. From there, M&S items of resalable quality will be listed onto the M&S eBay official resale shop by our resale partners Reskinned, where M&S will give 15% of the profits it receives as a result of sales on eBay (via our partnership with Reskinned) to Oxfam GB registered charity numbers: 202918 (England and Wales) and SC039042 (Scotland). This is estimated to total £25,000 in 2025. Any other items will be sent to Oxfam who will either resell, reuse or recycle our customers’ clothing donations to help raise money to tackle poverty across the world.

When you send in your pre-loved clothing via our online takeback page, you will receive a £5 off £35 online Fashion, Home and Beauty discount code for any takebacks that include at least one item of M&S clothing*. The clothing will be sent to our resale partners, Reskinned, who will sort the clothes and list any M&S items of resalable quality onto the M&S eBay official resale shop. The rest will be resold, reused or recycled. M&S will give 15% of the profits it receives as a result of sales on eBay (via our partnership with Reskinned) to Oxfam GB registered charity numbers: 202918 (England and Wales) and SC039042 (Scotland). This is estimated to total £25,000 in 2025.

You can also donate to an Oxfam store, where you’ll receive a £5 off £35 in store voucher if your donation includes an item of M&S clothing*. Oxfam will either resell, reuse or recycle our customers’ clothing donations to help raise money to tackle poverty across the world.

You don’t need to buy anything to rehome with us. Incredibly, since 2008, the M&S and Oxfam partnership has resulted in rehoming more than 35 million items, contributing an estimated £23 million to Oxfam’s vital work across the world. So you can clear out with a clear conscience.

Any item of any brand apart from the following exceptions: soft furnishings (bed linen, towels, cushions, curtains, throws, aprons, tablecloths and napkins), swimwear, underwear, socks or soiled items.

We partner with Oxfam, Reskinned and eBay to manage our customer Another Life. donations.

Reskinned will make the most of every item of clothing they receive such as:

1. Reselling clothing on our official M&S eBay shop, M&S will give 15% of the profits it receives as a result of sales on eBay (via our partnership with Reskinned) to Oxfam GB registered charity numbers: 202918 (England and Wales) and SC039042 (Scotland). This is estimated to total £25,000 in 2025. 2. Recycling clothes they can’t sell, by selling them to bulk reprocessing companies who make the unwanted textiles into new products such as mattress filling or carpet underlay.

Oxfam will make the most of every item of clothing they receive such as:

1. Reselling clothing and textiles in one of their stores, online shop or at festivals - using the money to help fight poverty. 2.

Whether it’s in the UK or abroad – M&S does not want any textiles going to landfill. If clothing and textiles are not responsibly re-used or re-purposed, they risk ending up in landfill which produces emissions and releases harmful chemicals and microfibres into the environment. In the UK, approximately 350,000 tonnes of text £140m worth of textiles is sent to landfill in the UK each year.

Textile waste is not sustainable so we support reselling, rehoming and recycling as much as we can and therefore minimising the chance of items ending up in landfill. M&S supports a circular economy and wants to extend the life of clothes for as long as possible – by working with Oxfam and Reskinned, we celebrate pre-loved clothing and help to divert unwanted clothes from landfill. We want our customers to help us turn the tide on textiles waste and accelerate our journey towards Net Zero by helping keep their clothes and textiles in circulation for as long as possible. Textile waste is not sustainable so we support reselling, rehoming and recycling as much as we can and therefore minimising the chance of items ending up in landfill.

We want to inspire as many of our customers as possible to start bringing back their pre-loved clothes via our Another life. initiative, as your participation helps give pre-loved clothes and your beauty empties a second life, clearing out the things you no longer need while reducing the amount of items sent to UK landfill. Together, we have the power to be part of the solution and we hope that you will join us in being part of a recycling revolution.
