As fashion waste continues to surge, Swapaholic offers a fresh solution for eco-conscious shoppers. In 2022 alone, Singapore generated 254,000 tonnes of textile waste, with only 2% being recycled, according to the National Environment Agency (NEA). That’s the equivalent of 180 shirts per person going to waste!
Enter Swapaholic’s latest pop-up, Swapverse, located at Capitol Singapore, where sustainable fashion takes center stage. Shoppers can explore preloved and ethical fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands under one roof. The initiative supports the Singapore Green Plan’s goal of reducing landfill waste by 30% per capita. At Swapverse, everyone is welcome—regardless of age or size—with a curated collection that caters to all.
The Swapverse isn’t just about swapping clothes; it’s a lively community of green-minded individuals participating in monthly eco-parties, kids’ activities, and sustainability experiences.
