Clothing recycling is one of the most efficient recycling industries. Nearly 100% is recyclable. • About 50% of the clothing collected is recycled as second- hand clothing. • 20% is made into cleaning and polishing cloths for industrial use. • 26% is recycled for use as fiber for insulation products, mattresses, fiberboard, upholstery, and even re-woven into new textiles.
