What can be done with used clothes after recycling?

As the saying goes, "Three years for the new, three years for the old, and another three for mending." In the past, new clothes were rare items and were only worn during holidays. With the improvement of people's living standards, clothes have gradually changed from "not enough" to "endless".

At present, the total amount of waste textiles in our country exceeds 100 million tons, and about 26 million tons of old clothes are thrown away every year. The recycling rate of used clothing is less than 1%. In fact, the recycling of used clothes can not only save a lot of costs and reduce resource consumption, but also help reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and various particulate pollutants.

So what are the uses of recycled waste textiles?

First: Use it for public welfare.

Some of the intact clothes can be donated to those in need after simple processing.

Second: Recycling.

The clothes that cannot be reused can be processed into different chemical raw materials according to different textures and put into use again.

Third: Export or flow into the secondary market.

Some companies package the recycled clothes and export them to Africa or other countries. There are also some companies that simply process or reprocess waste clothing and then distribute it to the market.
