This is a guide for designing, making, using, reusing, and disposing of t-shirts in Australia, for the wellbeing of people and planet.

More than 15 billion t-shirts are produced worldwide every year. And more than half of these are disposed of in under 12 months, contributing to over 315,000 tonnes of textile waste per year in Australia.
