Uturn Opens at Riverwood

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I would like to recognise a brand-new business that has just opened up another store in Riverwood - Uturn! Uturn is an op shop that sells pre-loved clothing at affordable prices. The new Riverwood store is an extension of their existing outlet, located nearby on Bonds Road. Op shops like Uturn not only help families to save money, but also contribute to reducing textile waste and promoting environmentally friendly fashion choices. Pre-loved clothing that is sourced and sold by Uturn goes on to be re‑worn and recycled, rather than just thrown out. In fact, since 1980, Uturn has helped to save over 200,000 tonnes of clothing from ending back up in landfills. What a remarkable achievement! With the current cost‑of‑living crisis, having access to quality, pre-loved clothing at reasonable prices is more important than ever. Uturn's presence in Riverwood will support the local community, whilst encouraging more people to recycle and shop sustainabily. I once again congratulate Uturn on the opening of their new store and wish them every success over the coming years.
