Why recycle clothing?
Textile and clothing recycling provides numerous environmental and economic benefits for our planet. Not only does it prevent post-consumer textile waste from entering the waste stream (the total flow of solid waste from homes, businesses, institutions, and manufacturing plants that are recycled, burned, or disposed of in landfills, or segments thereof such as the “residential waste stream” or the “recyclable waste stream” ), recycling efforts do not create any new hazardous waste or harmful by-products.
