Clothing Recycling
Each year, approximately 501 million kilograms of clothing and textiles are thrown away in Australia. With every Australian disposing of an average of 23 kilograms of clothing in landfills, it’s a growing problem for which Australia has yet to find a sustainable and systematic solution.
Donating clothes is something that everyone can take part in, young and old. It’s an important activity young people can engage in to understand the problem and spread awareness about the impact of clothing that ends up in landfills.
