This old thing?Last week, Oxfam and Marks & Spencer announced that their clothes exchange project, started just a year ago, has so far raised more than €2 million in Ireland and the UK for the charity and saved nearly three million garments from going to landfill.

The retailer said that more than half a million shoppers were now recycling their clothes and had benefited from nearly €3 million savings on M&S clothing, home and beauty products.
