International Textile Waste

International textile waste refers to discarded or surplus clothing and fabric materials that are transported across borders, often from developed to developing countries. This movement occurs for various reasons, including disposal, donation, or economic opportunities. While some textiles are repurposed or recycled, much waste ends up in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution and resource depletion. The global trade of textile waste highlights challenges in sustainable production and waste management, emphasizing the need for improved recycling solutions and responsible consumption practices worldwide.
