Welcome to EMRC - where sustainability meets community engagement!
In 2023, we organised over 26 clothes swaps across our Members Council areas, extending our reach to -external councils as well. Through these events we successfully diverted 2 tonnes of clothing from landfill and donated garments to various charities, including the Homeless Support Group in Bassendean and Dress for Success in Subiaco.
This year, we are taking our commitment to sustainability and community support to new heights. In addition to our renowned clothes swap initiative, we are embarking on a journey into the world of repair and craftsmanship. Our community is invited to participate in Sashiko workshops, lino printing, botanical dyeing, and more!
At the EMRC, we believe that everything made by hand adds intrinsic value. Handcrafted items carry a unique charm and personal touch that mass-produced goods lack. Not only do they promote sustainability by prolonging the life of clothing and reducing waste, but they also celebrate creativity, skill-building, and cultural heritage.
