Why These Guidelines Matter

By following these guidelines, you’re helping to reduce textile waste and promote a more sustainable future. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, textiles make up a significant portion of landfill waste. Together, we can make a real difference by giving unwanted clothes a second life instead of letting them go to waste.

 

Other Sustainable Options:

♻ Repair & Reuse – Extend the life of your clothes by mending or upcycling them.
♻ Repurpose – Old fabrics can be transformed into cleaning cloths or DIY projects.
♻ Donate to Charity – Some organizations accept non-rewearable items for industrial use or repurposing.
