Only around 18 per cent of clothing is recycling and this is primarily done by charity shops who re-sell the high quality clothing and send lower quality clothing overseas to developing nations. Although on one level this does help communities, some people view this as a way we are shifting our waste.

Textile and clothing recycling is a potentially beneficial activity from environmental, social and economic points of view, as opposed to landfilling or being used for energy. As cities increasingly are diverting other high volume waste streams such as organics, the recycling of old clothes has been called the next frontier for cities looking to reduce solid waste.

Great-condition clothing and accessories are excellent candidates for clothing swaps or consignment stores. To host a clothing swap, invite a handful of good friends who wear approximately the same size to bring their closet surplus, and you can exchange clothes among you. Textile recyclers sort clothing just like you did, into clothing worth wearing and clothing suitable for recycling. Textiles are sorted by color and material type and shredded to become fiberfill or stuffing. Some textiles are cut down and sold as rags, and still others are baled up and sold by weight.

When it comes to tips for recycling clothes the first thing you need to do is to assess them. Check to see what is still wearable and if anything needs repairs. If your clothes are simply out of date you can always update them with a quick DIY. However, if something is irreparable or ill-fitting the chances of it being wearable again are going to be pretty low.

If you want your clothing to live on, but don’t want to mess with reselling, donating your items to a local homeless shelter or community center in your town is an amazing option to help others while keeping your clothing out of landfills. First though, make sure there is an actual need for the clothing items you have before just dropping them off. Donating isn’t an excuse to just pawn your unwanted clothing onto someone else that also doesn’t want or need them.
