Department store John Lewis will pay customers to return clothing they no longer want in Oxford trial. The 'BuyBack' trial, which launched on 4 October and runs for six weeks, allows 'my John Lewis' members to return preloved items from any womenswear and menswear brands stocked at John Lewis & Partners and receive £3 for each item. This can be spent in-store or online, or at its sister supermarket brand Waitrose. The company said all clothes brought in during the six-week trial, which has just begun, will be recycled in a variety of ways, including being turned into new products.
