Why Your Old Clothes Aren’t Really Recycled

Ever thought your donated clothes were getting a second life? Turns out, only 1% of Europe’s textile waste is actually recycled into new fibers! Most of our old clothes end up shipped overseas or shredded into low-quality stuff like car rags. The tech to recycle better exists, but it’s just too expensive right now. If we invested more, up to 70% could be recycled! Until then, thrifting and buying secondhand is the move—plus, it can save you serious cash.
