Why clothes are so hard to recycle
The fast fashion industry is contributing to a significant amount of waste, with an estimated 92 million tonnes of textiles waste created each year. The industry is also responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions and 20% of global waste water. Despite this, consumers are buying more clothes than ever, with the average consumer now buying 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. However, only 12% of the material used for clothing ends up being recycled. Some companies are looking to create new types of materials that are easier to recycle or have less impact on the environment.
