Clothing reuse has a 70 times lower environmental impact.A new life-cycle assessment (LCA) commissioned by the European textile reuse and recycling industry has confirmed the significant CO2 and water savings of reusing textiles compared to producing new clothing. More specifically, the study revealed that a massive 3 kg of CO2 is saved for each high/medium-quality clothing that is reused. While only a mere 0.01% of the water used to produce new clothing is required for reuse.​ Around 62% of used clothing and textiles end up in household waste, meaning valuable textiles are likely to be incinerated or landfilled.​ This study endorses the environmental benefits of a global market for textile reuse and recycling’s potential to tackle the rising amounts of low-quality and non-reusable clothing #circulareconomy #circulareconomynews #clothing #reuse #market
