Wide-format printer FaberExposize UK has donated sustainable materials to a charity event in Leeds to raise money for refugees.
The Fashion Loves Comedy fundraising event, which combines fashion and comedy to raise money for good causes, took place on December 5th at Left Bank Leeds. The comedy night was in aid of Choose Love, a charity dedicated to providing help to refugees worldwide.
Ethical fashion designer and Fashion Loves Comedy event organiser, Bo Carter, approached Leeds-based FaberExposize UK for materials that aligned with the event’s commitment to sustainability. FaberExposize’s recycled fabrics were chosen to decorate the catwalk at the event, as well as being repurposed into event decorations.
FaberExposize UK offers a range of eco-friendly industry-specific products including its EnviroDisplay lining, a polyester fabric made completely from recycled plastic bottles. The company was reportedly delighted to donate recycled fabrics for the evening, and were particularly interested in “showcasing how repurposed materials can contribute to innovative and impactful design”.

In 2024, FaberExposize UK implemented a sustainability mission which included a fully circular waste model. As part of its ‘Action Now’ initiative, FaberExposize collaborated with multiple waste management companies to improve its recycling and substrate disposal. It also built partnerships with reputable suppliers who shared the same environmental commitments.
"We were thrilled to support the Fashion Loves Comedy event, which brilliantly highlighted the power of sustainable practices in both fashion and event production," comments Hollie Stothard, marketing manager at FaberExposize UK. "This partnership reflects our commitment to zero landfill, community engagement, and environmental responsibility.”
Speaking about the event in an industry release, FaberExposize UK adds: “By collaborating with initiatives like Fashion Loves Comedy, FaberExposize UK continues to demonstrate its dedication to innovation, sustainability, and making a difference in the communities it serves.”
