Only 15% of discarded clothing and textiles actually gets reused or recycled, according to a 2022 report by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The rest is incinerated or ends up in landfills. Once you donate something, it’s out of your hands, but when you repurpose clothing yourself, you can keep it out of this cycle for longer.
