Tauschen statt verbrennen: swap instead of burning
Team Tausch runs small and large Kleidertausch events across Cologne. An estimated quarter of wardrobe pieces never get worn; locally, thousands of tonnes of still-wearable textiles are incinerated each year. Swapping keeps joy in fashion without the waste.
What happens at a swap
- Bring clean, good-condition clothes you no longer wear; take home something new-to-you.
- Volunteers help with setup, guest welcome, sorting on racks, and (at larger events) a textile repair corner.
- Many evenings end with music and drinks at partner venues such as the Wohngemeinschaft.
Join in
- Drop in as a visitor: dates are on the event calendar.
- Volunteer for a ~4-hour shift (no fixed commitment); cafés and community spaces can host new locations.
Why it matters
Swapping keeps wearable textiles out of incineration and builds neighbourhood joy around fashion without new purchases.
