clothing recycling

Clothing recycling involves collecting used garments to repurpose or reuse them, reducing waste and conserving resources. When clothes are recycled, they’re often sorted by material type—such as cotton or polyester—and either transformed into new textiles, cleaned for resale, or repurposed into products like insulation or cleaning rags. This process helps decrease landfill waste, lowers environmental impact, and extends the life of clothing. Many organizations and recycling centers accept donations of old clothes to be recycled or donated, supporting sustainable consumption and reducing the need for new resource extraction.
