Have you ever thought about what happens to your textile after recycling?
I always thought clothes, along with all the textiles that we throw out to recycle in a year, are basically a waste to be recycled. However, if we set our minds to a new way of thinking, we will see that textile waste is the world’s existing natural resource! Your favorite t-shirt from college, those jeans you wore until they fell apart, live on.
