Bras are one of Oxfam鈥檚 most valuable second-hand resources because they sell to a booming and appreciative market in developing countries.They are sorted and packed at Oxfam鈥檚 own recycling plant called Wastesaver, which is something of an unknown treasure trove in its own right, because everything that does not immediately fly off the rails in the charity鈥檚 high street shops ends up there to be re-directed to a more appropriate market place. Anything from twenty tonnes of old blankets, to a Mary Quant original.The plant makes around a million pounds a year for Oxfam and Caz Graham has been to Huddersfield to see how it works and to meet manager Tony Clark, Sarah Farquhar, Oxfam鈥檚 Head of Retail, and some of the sorting staff.
