A NEW LIFE FOR GU CLOTHING
Creating Clothing that Enriches the Future. GU is promoting the “RE.GU” project. It is an action to recycle and reuse all products. The clothes you no longer wear will be given to other people in need. The “RE.GU” project has achieved great results, for example, providing clothing aid to refugees and recycling clothes into alternative fuels. GU believes that “clothes making can contribute more to society” and promotes REDUCE (reducing waste of resources) through RECYCLE (rebirth) and REUSE (repeated use). We believe we can turn the power of clothing into a force for good.
RE.GU
Reuse & Recycle Framework
We collect secondhand GU clothes in stores for reuse and deliver them to people in need worldwide in the form of emergency clothing aid for refugee camps and disaster areas together with the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), NGOs, and NPO. Clothes that can’t be donated are used to make insulation materials and more.
