Tell H&M: Don't throw away unused clothes In recent years, reports revealed that H&M threw away or even incinerated unused clothes. As someone who cares deeply about clothing waste, I urge H&M to commit to not trash their unsold clothing.

>>>>> **Textile Waste in Spain** In Spain, each person generates approximately 20 kg of textile waste per year. This waste is often exported to other countries for reuse, but unfortunately, many of these garments are in poor condition and contain non-biodegradable plastics. According to Greenpeace, nearly 89% of these exported garments contain plastics. **The Issue with Used Clothing** The winter season in Spain sees a significant increase in consumerism, leading to a surge in textile waste. Greenpeace's report, "A second life for your clothes?", highlights the impact of discarded garments on the environment. The report aims to raise awareness about the consequences of premature disposal of clothing and the need for sustainable fashion practices. **Textile Waste in the EU** According to Greenpeace, the EU generated 6.95 million tons of textile waste in 2020. Of this amount, only 4.4 kg of textile waste per person is separated for reuse, which is a small fraction of the total waste generated. **Export of Textile Waste** * 80% of textile waste collected for reuse in the EU is exported outside the EU. * This export has tripled from 2000 to 2019, reaching 1.7 million tons. * The large volume of textile waste poses a growing environmental and social problem. **The Reality of Used Clothing** The concept of "used clothing" often hides an unacceptable reality. Studies have shown that: * Between 30-40% of used clothing sent to countries like Kenya is in poor condition and cannot be used. * 89% of clothing samples from Ghana's Kantamanto market and landfills contain non-biodegradable plastics that will contaminate the environment as microplastics. >>>>>

<<<<< **The Proposed Solution: Used Clothing Collection Containers** Starting in 2025, textile companies will be required to install used clothing collection containers. However, this measure may have a direct and serious impact on the environment, particularly in countries in the global south. * #Sustainability * #FashionWaste * #TextileWaste * #EnvironmentalImpact * #Greenpeace * #SustainableFashion * #ReduceReuseRecycle * #CircularEconomy * #EcoFriendly * #GreenLiving * #WasteReduction * #ClothingWaste * #SecondHandFirst https://ctxt.es/es/20241101/Firmas/47946/Observatorio-Social-la-Caixa-residuos-ropa-UE-reuitilizar.htm <<<<<
