Every year the fashion industry contributes to at least 7 million tons of used clothing to our wastes, add to that the 17 million tons (at least) textile waste from factories. What can we do about it?
While there are few factories that are dedicated to recycle these waste into new textiles, we keep producing and throwing away. We have to do something about it!
