Jose Brown+FollowWhat’s Really Happening to Your Old Clothes?Turns out, a TON of clothing waste from Bangladesh (the world’s #2 textile exporter!) isn’t being recycled—and the process is so murky, even brands can’t track where scraps go. The EU wants stricter recycling laws, but Bangladesh’s system is tough to regulate. Meanwhile, India’s already recycling 60% of its textile waste! If Bangladesh steps up, it could save $700M a year and help the planet. Would cash, trade-ins, or convenience get you to recycle your old clothes? #SustainableFashion #TextileWaste #EcoFriendly #Bangladesh #Recycling #Beauty00Share
Richard Jones+FollowWhy Your Old Clothes Aren’t Really RecycledEver 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. Wild, right? #TextileWaste #SustainableFashion #Thrifting #Recycling #FastFashion #Safety90Share
