Eco- World Book Day-Swap Don't Shop!

Date: 6th Mar 2026 @ 12:27pm

This week we have been recycling costumes for World Book Day to reduce waste and to encourage recycling and sharing.

Many shop-bought costumes are only worn once and then discarded, contributing to textile waste. In addition, a large proportion of mass-produced costumes are made from synthetic materials, which contribute to plastic pollution and microfibre shedding.

By swapping costumes instead of buying new, families can save money while reducing waste and carbon emissions associated with textile production. It’s also an opportunity to encourage creativity - accessories are a really easy way to transform everyday clothes into a book character outfit! Whether it’s a simple hat, glasses, a scarf, or a prop, small additions can bring a favourite character to life without the need for a full costume.
