Even though clothing is recyclable, about 75 to 85 per cent of textile waste ends up in landfills or is incinerated instead of being reused/recycled, thereby polluting the environment. According to the article, “textile waste poses a threat”. Sometimes, even new unused garments see the face of the landfills.
Organic Clothes such as cotton are eco-friendlier compare to the synthetic clothes i.e. polyester, rayon. Synthetic materials take 100 of years to decompose.
Sustainability is not just a word now. We really need to priorities it. Awareness has been created now and as a consumer we must act on it. “Don’t buy much but be sure what you buy” (Christian Dior)
