A simple yet social way to use clothing sustainably is a clothing swap party. Here, well-preserved garments get a second life and new owners—without having to buy anything new.
The AVL therefore cordially invites anyone interested to the clothing swap party:
Date: Saturday, October 10, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Location: WARENWANDEL – AVL’s secondhand department store
Maybachstraße 10, 71634 Ludwigsburg
The fast fashion trend has serious consequences
Every year, millions of metric tons of clothing end up in landfills worldwide—often even though many items are still in good condition or have never even been worn. The ongoing trend of so-called fast fashion means that clothing is being bought faster and faster and discarded just as quickly. The consequences are severe: The production of textiles requires immense amounts of water, energy, and chemicals, while mountains of textile waste continue to grow. Yet every single piece of clothing that is used for longer can make an important contribution to environmental protection. By passing clothes on and reusing them, we can conserve resources, reduce CO₂ emissions, and prevent waste.
