If you open any Australian’s wardrobe you’ll be sure to find a pair of thongs, the essential footwear of Aussies since, well, forever! From walking the beautiful beaches of the coast to taking out the bins on bin night, their versatility is unmatched. Whilst some of us get to enjoy the comfort of thongs, slipping them on when the sun is up, there are 1 in 8 adults and 1 in 6 children who do not have adequate access to essential clothing, whilst almost 80% of the clothing ends up in landfill.
This Earth Day, Saturday 22nd April, Havaianas is doing #SomeThongForGood. We will be repurposing your old thongs and saving them from a life in landfill and giving back to those who need it most. Our large recycle bin will be placed on Manly Corso, outside the Surf Dive 'n Ski store, you won’t miss it!
We’d love to see you there to recycle your old thongs, those thongs that became a chew toy for your furry friends, the ones that got you through your hike of Mount Kosciuszko but have had their time. Our recycling bin will be open for all brands of thongs, not only Havaianas – so bring us what you’ve got!
The first 50 people to place a pair in our recycling bin will receive a free, new pair of Havaianas, courtesy of Manly Corso Surf Dive 'n Ski. We will also be pair matching for charity! For every pair donated in our recycle bin, we’ll donate a pair back to Thread Together, a charity who donate unsold clothing to those who need it most.
We’re looking forward to a Thongtastic day of recycling to help preserve the earth and give back. We hope to see you down at Manly Corso this Earth Day, Saturday 22nd April!
