As a consequence of fast fashion, people in developed countries buy more and more new clothes. Surveys have shown that people buy around 60% more clothing items every year. This means that the textile waste is increasing year by year – and so does the pollution produced by it. Clothes are hardly recycled, thus making textile industry the second-largest pollution source in the world. But how does unrecycling textiles cause pollution and how can we recycle old clothing?
The majority of people throw their old clothing into garbage bins, which are then taken to the landfill. However, very few are aware that synthetic textiles, such as polyester and nylon, can take up to 200 years to decompose. Moreover, synthetic fibers release harmful gases for our planet – such as CO2 or methane – and toxic substances into the soil and groundwater. Therefore, by recycling old clothing we protect our planet from pollution and contribute to fighting against the causes of climate change and global warming.
