A-Mart hypermarkets has launched a bonus secondhand clothing recycling campaign from now until October 31. Customers who bring idle clothing from home to the store customer service center and recycle 5 or more items can exchange them for a "spend NT$500, get NT$50 off" cash voucher, limited to one redemption per App member during the campaign period. According to A-Mart's 2025 campaign recycling data, monthly secondhand clothing recycling volume exceeded 6,500 items, showing that consumer participation in old clothing recycling continues to rise.

Key Points

  • A-Mart's secondhand clothing recycling campaign runs until October 31; recycle 5 items to get a "spend NT$500, get NT$50 off" voucher, limited to one redemption per App member.
  • A-Mart's 2025 campaign data shows monthly secondhand clothing recycling exceeded 6,500 items.
  • A-Mart's BUNNIT self-service phone recycling machines saw recycling volume grow 3x in the past two weeks compared to previous monthly figures.

Phone Recycling Also Gets a Boost
A-Mart observed that recycling volume at its in-store BUNNIT self-service phone recycling machines has risen significantly recently, with volume in just two weeks growing 3x compared to previous monthly figures. With new iPhone models expected to launch on October 23, consumer demand for upgrading old devices is expected to rise further. From now until October 27, customers who successfully recycle designated old phones — including iPhone, Samsung, Google, OPPO, and vivo — through A-Mart's in-store BUNNIT machines can receive recycling credit plus exchange for a "spend NT$1,000, get NT$100 off" electronic voucher at the customer service center. The campaign is limited to the Nanya, Yonghe, Taoyuan, Fuxing, Shuinan, and Fengyuan stores.

PET Bottles and Batteries Can Also Earn Shopping Credit
In addition to old clothing and old phones, household PET bottles can also be recycled through ECOCO smart recycling machines, located at channels including PX Mart, Xiaobei Department Store, Carrefour, and Test Rite. Nearby recycling machines can be found online. Depositing PET bottles, aluminum cans, and HDPE milk bottles earns 2 ECOCO points per item, while PP plastic cups earn 1 point per item.

Redemption conditions for each channel are as follows: PX Mart — accumulate 1,000 points to redeem NT$50 PX Mart shopping credit, limited to one exchange per account per week; no minimum purchase requirement, and no change given for amounts under NT$50. A-Mart — every 300 points can be exchanged for NT$60 shopping credit, limited to 1,000 vouchers per month; in PET bottle terms, this equals 150 bottles or 15 batteries, and the credit can be applied once per purchase of NT$399 or more. Wanjiafu and Lejiakang — accumulate 500 points to redeem a NT$50 discount code, usable once per transaction of NT$500 or more, with a maximum discount of NT$50 per transaction; codes cannot be stacked consecutively and customers must inform staff before checkout and use the App voucher.

For the old clothing recycling industry, bulk retail channels using shopping credit rewards to increase public willingness to recycle is becoming an important front-end entry point for secondhand clothing recycling. The trends of rising recycling volumes at retail channels and diversification of accepted categories are worth watching.
